Tuition includes a travel shirt (that your child keeps at end of season) and registration fees for choir festivals. Tuition does not cover any ticket costs if we are invited to a Seattle Mariners game.
Details:
Choir will begin with snack time and team building music games for team building. Please pack a snack and water bottle for your child. Throughout the rehearsal, students will be learning a variety of musical pieces.
Students will be given an Honor Choir folder to store materials and should bring their folder and a pencil to each session.
There will be a scheduled performance at the end of each eight-week session for any family members and friends wishing to attend.
If your student wishes to participate in a Seattle Mariners performance, they are encouraged to attend all three sessions AND are required to attend the first and third eight-week session. Per the Seattle Mariners guidelines and regulations, any performing student must be present during the audition recording session.
