OTHER PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES The following opportunities are offered to all SHS choral students: Private Voice Lessons The GISD Music Enrichment Program gives each student the opportunity to take voice lessons at school for a reasonable fee of $18.00 per 25-minute lesson. The lessons are scheduled either during class, over the lunch period, or after school. Times are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. All choral students are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity. In each lesson, students will practice sight-reading, prepare for All- Region auditions, Solo & Ensemble Contest, choral auditions, and Voice Recitals. Sachse High School is fortunate to have Mrs. Davis and Dr. Vigil on the staff. Other voice teachers in the area can be recommended. Many teach at home in Rowlett, Sachse, and Garland. Contact your choir director for more information. UIL Solo & Ensemble Contest All students participating in private voice lessons are strongly encouraged to participate in this event. Students will prepare and memorize a solo provided on the UIL Prescribed Music List to be performed for a judge. The judge will give the student a rating of I V, with I being the highest score. All participating students will pay their own entry and accompanist fee ($38) prior to the winter break in December. All-Region Choir/All-State Choir Auditions are held each Fall for the TMEA Region III Choir. Participating students must prepare the required music selections for a series of blind auditions before a panel of 5 judges. From these auditions, students with the best ranks continue on to participate in the Region III Choir and may have the opportunity to audition for the Texas All-State Choir. All-Region Honor Choir Auditions are held each October for the TMEA Region III 9-10 Honor Choir. Participating students must prepare the required music selections for a blind audition before a panel of 3 judges. This will be different choral music from the All-Region Choir audition. 4
7 ATTENDANCE Extra rehearsals and concerts are an extension of the classroom, and students will be graded accordingly. These required choir activities are the assessment of the choral program and the circumstances of the test cannot be duplicated at another date or time. The dates for all concerts are presented to each student/family at the beginning of the year. If a student chooses not to participate in a required choir activity, even if that activity occurs before or after school or on the weekend, they will receive a grade of 0 which will dramatically affect a student s grade for the grading period. All choir activities are a team effort; therefore, attendance is required, regardless of whether or not the student thinks attendance is needed. Unexcused absences are determined by the choir directors, and may include: Lack of a ride (ask a friend IN ADVANCE or inform your choir director, who can help you make arrangements!) Non-school related activities (club sports, dance or music recitals, parties, birthdays, etc.) Job Trip or family planned activity Other circumstances as determined by the choir directors Failure to participate in required choir activities will negatively affect a student s grade, possibly causing the student to fail choir and will also affect a student s future placement and participation in ensembles at Sachse High School. Thursday School will be assigned the following week as a means for a student to make-up the grade. STUDENTS WITH JOBS If a student has a job, please keep the following in mind: Having to work is NOT considered an excused absence from any required, graded activity. Missing a required, graded choir activity for work will result in a 0. Student are expected to notify employers well in advance of all required choir activities. Students may print a copy of the SHS Choir Calendar or may request a letter from their choir director to give to their employer regarding choir activities that may interfere with work. COMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS Every effort is made to keep families up-to-date in every aspect of the choral program. Several means of communication will be used throughout the year. CHARMS The Charms web-based management system is a means for parents and students to maintain their financial and personal SHS choir information at home. Simply log-on to type in sachsehschoirs in the Parent/Student Login box followed by the student s assigned GISD ID on the following page. If you forget your password, please contact your director so they might reset it to your assigned GISD ID. Remind & the Remind App The choir directors request that ALL students and parents sign up for this great communication service, however, each student must have paperwork on file with the choir directors stating that parents give consent. Please use the following directions. **Standard texting rates apply** To receive messages via text, to (972) You can opt-out of messages at anytime by replying, 5
8 SHS Choir Web Page The SHS Choir web page has announcements, pictures, class rosters, links, and the choir calendar. You may use this site to get to the CHARMS website, as well as purchasing tickets to SHS Choir events (see more information on page 11).

ELIGIBILITY REMEDIATION Remediation is only offered for concert absences discussed with the director prior to the absence, or in the extreme case of sudden illness or family emergency. The director will assign a project to make-up the concert grade. This will include, but is not limited to watching a recording of the entire concert and writing a critique, singing through your choir repertoire to show individual knowledge and skill, and other projects as assigned. This make-up assignment will require at least as much time as the warm-up and concert (approximately 1 ½ hours). This will replace the individual performance grade. As stated before, Thursday School may be assigned. Grades are updated frequently and are available on-line by logging in to Skyward, the GISD gradebook. All choral ensembles adhere to the eligibility rules and regulations as stated by TEA and GISD. To be eligible to participate for a six weeks period following the initial six weeks of the school year, a student must not have a recorded average lower than 70 on a scale of 0 to 100 in any course for that proceeding six weeks period. Any student whose recorded grade average in any course is lower than 70 at the end of a six weeks period shall be suspended from participation during the succeeding six weeks period. However, a student may regain eligibility seven calendar days after the succeeding three-week evaluation period if the student is passing all courses on the last day of the three-school-week period (this includes a grade of at least a 70 on a scale of 0 to 100). GISD provides a list of courses that are exempt from eligibility requirements. Students who are ineligible will continue to rehearse during their choir class, after school if necessary, and participate in curricular performances to earn their grade. Ineligible students may not travel with the choir or participate in extracurricular performances (this includes the Spring Choir Trip, UIL contests, Choir Dinner Show, public performances in which admission is charged, Madrigal Singers, and Mane Attraction performances, and any other competitions or auditions). 6
