Corgi Chorus
What is Corgi Chorus?
Corgi Chorus is the Crossroads Choir Club! Crossroads takes the admission of all 5th grade students and allows admission for 4th grade students only until the 50 student cap is reached. According to WSD policy, we are only able to take 50 students in the choir club. If more than 50 students sign up, any open spots for 4th grade students will be chosen randomly until the cap is reached. Though auditions are not required to join choir, students must commit to exemplary behavior and attendance in order to be successful. Sign-ups will take place starting August 21st through September 1st, 2023 (the first 2 weeks of school). Ms. McGlasson will begin passing out choir contracts to students who are interested during this time. Contracts must be signed and turned back in to Ms. McGlasson by September 1st to be part of the choir or to be added to the 4th grade choir drawing.
There is a one-time $15 fee (cash or check payable to Crossroads Elementary,) to cover the cost of our t-shirts and sheet music for performances. If we go over 50 applications, any 4th grade students who are selected in the random drawing will be notified about their choir fee after the drawing takes place. If this cost is a financial hardship please reach out and we'll get you covered!
Rehearsals are after school on Wednesdays from 3:45pm-4:30pm. However, we will be starting our first rehearsal on Tuesday, September 12th this year due to 5th Grade camp.

Choir Sign Up Considerations:
All students signing up must understand and accept the responsibility of being a choir member. It is a commitment. This means students must have a dedication to personal practice, attending rehearsals, and exemplary behavior as we will be representing Crossroads during all our performances.
Ms. McGlasson will begin passing out choir contracts to 4th and 5th Grade students on August 21st and throughout the first week of school during 4th and 5th Grade music specials time.
All 5th Grade students interested will be accepted. Any 4th Grade students will be chosen based on a hat drawing IF total sign-ups reach over 50 students.
5th Grade Students must turn in their signed choir contract and choir fee to be accepted in choir by September 1st.
4th Grade students must turn in their signed choir contract to be added to the hat drawing by September 1st. If 4th Grade students are selected from the hat drawing, families will be notified about the choir fee shortly after.
