Dear Parents/Guardians, Students, Educators, and Friends
Thank you for joining us this evening! As the audience, you are an important part of the Sun Valley Choral Arts Programs. The audience's responsibility at formal concerts and performances is to honor the efforts of the performers by providing an attentive, listening atmosphere in which all can appreciate their performance.
To that end, we ask your cooperation:
Please make sure all cell phones and electronic devices are turned off. Cell phones can interfere with wireless microphones and recording equipment, as well as create unwanted noise.
Please do not take videos or flash photographs as they distract the performers from their efforts and pull the audience out of the artistic moment.
While the performance is in progress, please remain seated and quiet. (If it becomes necessary to leave the auditorium, please do so between musical selections.)
If very young children become restless and disrupt others ability to listen, please take them from the auditorium until they are quiet.
Please do not hum or clap along with the performer, unless specifically invited to do so.
Show your appreciation for the performance by clapping after each selection (Whistling and cheering are not appropriate at a formal concert.)
We have all worked very hard to prepare an exceptional evening of music for everyone to enjoy.
Thank you in advance for your assistance in helping this to be a wonderful experience for all of us!
Signed,
Aj Calpo & Steven Booth

WHY MUSIC? - WHY CHORUS?
WHY MUSIC? - WHY CHORUS?
Music Is a Science:
It is exact and it demands exact acoustics. A musical score is a chart, a graph, which indicates frequencies, intensities, volume changes, melody, and harmony all at once and with exact control of time.
Music Is Mathematics:
It is rhythmically based on the subdivision of time into fractions, which must be done instantaneously, not worked out on paper.
Music Is Foreign Language:
Most music terms are in Italian, German or French and the notation is certainly not English - but a highly developed a kind of shorthand that uses symbols to represent ideas. The semantics of music are the most complete and universal language.
Music Is History:
Music usually reflects the environment and times of its creation, often even the country and cultural feelings.
Music Is Physical Education:
It requires coordination of fingers, hands, arms, and muscles in the mouth, cheeks, back, stomach, and chest. These must respond instantly to successfully produce the sound for ears to hear and for minds to interpret.
Music is all these things but most of all….
Music Is ART!:
It allows the human being to use all these dry techniques to create emotion. That is one thing science cannot duplicate, math cannot calculate, language cannot express, and history cannot truly record. Humanism, feeling, emotion, call it what you will-it is what makes life worth living!
That is why we teach music! That is why we teach chorus!
Not because we expect you to major in music, but so you will recognize beauty in the world around you, have something to cling to when everything else is changing, and have more love, more compassion, more grace, and more joy; in short more LIFE!
