Concert Choir

Overview

Concert Choir is the non auditioned SATB Choir at WDPHS. Students in all grade levels can take this course all four years while in school. This choir provides the foundational skills to be a successful musician at the high school level and beyond. Concert Choir is featured at our fall concert, winter concert, mid winter concert and spring fine arts night.

For Parents

Concert Choir typically does not include any extra time commitment outside of class besides performances and practicing. See below for additionally details. 

• Solo/Ensemble: New this year to choir is that S/E will be optional for all students. Students have the opportunity to be highlighted in various vocal performances that take place outside of school. S/E district performance will be on Saturday March 6 at Pulaski High School which is the first day our WDPSD Spring Break. More info on this as we get closer to winter

• Concerts/Performances: This is a performance based class and as such, all concerts and performances are mandatory. They are the "final exams" if you will, and it is critically important that all choir members are at all performances. If there is an unavoidable family conflict or emergency, I do offer alternate assignments worth up to 80% of the performance grade IF GIVEN AT LEAST TWO WEEKS NOTICE VIA EMAIL. If it is within two weeks of a performance, I reserve the right to offer no alternate assignment and the student will receive a zero for that grade.

For Students

Being in choir is agreeing to be part of a team. Practicing outside of class and at home should be considered as your "homework" for choir. This will ensure that all of our rehersals can be smooth and efficient and we can make the best music possible. Please see Google Classroom for current concert music and practice resources.
