Piney Woods Elementary Choir-The Treblemakers

Information & Application 2018-2019

Choir Rehearsals will begin on Tuesday, September 11, 2018


All 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students are eligible for the Piney Woods Treblemakers. Auditions will be held during music classes from Aug. 27th through Friday September 7th. These are informal auditions. Children will be rated from 1-5 on their ability to match pitch, sing in tune and the quality of their tone. Children that were in The Treblemakers last year will also be auditioned but will have additional categories of cooperativeness and past attendance.


Rehearsals are on Tuesday & Thursday mornings from 7:30 to 8:15 A.M. ***Siblings/family members are not allowed at choir rehearsals and may not enter the school until 7:45 through the regular drop off line.


Attendance Policy: Regular, consistent rehearsals are essential to any choir’s success. 4 unexcused absences will result in the student being dropped from the choir. A written note from the parent or guardian is required for an absence to be excused. A choir is a team; Excessive absences, either excused or unexcused, make it difficult for the student to keep up and have a negative impact on the team.


Behavior Policy: School rules must be followed at all times. Repeated behavior problems will result in the student being dropped from the choir.


Uniform: Choir shirts, black pants/skirts and black shoes. You will be sent a shirt order form as soon as your child is accepted into the choit.


Fundraisers: We have two fundraisers, one in the fall and one in the spring. This money is used to purchase music and accompaniment recordings.


Permission/Contact Form: All choir students, returning and new, MUST have a permission /contract form, signed by both the parent and the student. This form is the student’s membership into the choir. I must have the form on file for the student to participate.


IMPORTANT DROP OFF INFORMATION - We CANNOT block the car rider driveway at anytime. Students may NOT be dropped off before 7:10 AM. Before 7:10 Wait in the parking lot and NOT in the driveway. AT 7:10, Ms. Andrews will walk any choir members from the parking lot. Please do not send your child across without her. AFTER 7:15, vehicles will go through the driveway, in a single file line, dropping off choir kids at the gym door. ONE LANE ONLY! Be patient and do not drive around a car unloading a child. Ms. Andrews will go inside PROMPTLY at 7:30, if you arrive AFTER 7:30, please park and walk your child up to the back door. Please do not just send them across. I have no control over the families lining up for regular drop off and blocking the door. If you are dropping off a non-choir student, you MUST pull around and wait in the line next to the football field until 7:40. The safety of the kids is of utmost importance.
