All members are required to audition for District Chorus (Nov 14), and participate if selected (Feb 11-13). Objectives: The main objective of the Choral Department is to make music. Singing in an ensemble is a unique human experience where all individuals work together to achieve a common goal. Each person and his/her contributions are vital to the success of the group as a whole. Specific objectives of the choral program include the following: 1. To be aware of vocal health issues and to learn proper vocal technique. This is essential in the development of each individual s singing voice and style and consequently the development of the choir. Chorus rehearsals will focus on relaxation and posture, breath control, resonance, placement, diction, and the fundamentals of good tone production. 2. To improve musicianship. Learning the fundamentals of music theory will enhance each individual s ability to sight-read and understand the tonality and form of the pieces being performed. Music theory will be taught through listening exercises, warm-ups, sight-reading, journaling, and through the pieces themselves. 3. To recognize many different musical styles and their relationship to history. A variety of music will be covered ranging from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Contemporary periods with emphasis on the appropriate performance practice for each style of music. 4. To experience all aspects of performance. Students will be given opportunities to perform in both small and large ensembles as well as solo. Performing in public concerts and attending various musical performances is required of all students in the choral program. 5. To accept responsibility as a member of the ensemble. Each individual will work diligently, along with other students toward a common goal. Individuality within the group is necessary and welcomed, but respect toward the director, other members of the group, and the music is everyone s responsibility and must always be maintained. 3
4 Grading Policy Chorus is a performance based music class in which students will primarily be graded on their performance in rehearsals (during and after school) and their participation in the required concerts. The areas listed below outline how students are assessed each quarter. Daily Ensemble Skills (40%) Students will be regularly assessed using the rubric below Consistently arrives on time, and is ready to begin rehearsal Is rarely tardy, and comes to class with a pass when necessary Is regularly tardy and often does not bring a pass to class when necessary Is often tardy, and does not some to class with a pass when necessary Brings all required supplies and music to class Fully participates in, and is focused throughout all class activities Consistently learns music as assigned Demonstrates consistent attention to correct singing posture, technique, interpretation, and musicianship Consistently shows initiative within the rehearsal process Does not distract others Usually brings all supplies and music to class Participates in, and is focused through most class activities Usually learns music as assigned Usually demonstrates attention to correct singing posture, technique, interpretation, and musicianship Usually shows initiative within the rehearsal process Rarely distracts others Often does not bring all supplies and music to class Often loses focus and does not participate in class activities Sometimes learns music as assigned Sometimes demonstrates attention to correct singing posture, technique, interpretation, and musicianship Sometimes shows initiative within the rehearsal process Sometimes distracts others Rarely brings required supplies and music to class Rarely participates and is usually unfocused during class activities Rarely learns music as assigned Rarely demonstrates attention to correct singing posture, technique, interpretation, and musicianship Rarely shows initiative within the rehearsal process Often distracts others Concert/Rehearsal Attendance (35%) Required After School Rehearsals Arrives on time and prepared with any needed materials.

(This applies only to Advanced Ensembles) A Note about Choral Repertoire: In an effort to offer a complete music education to our students, choral repertoire will include the performance of literature that is both sacred and secular. Balance of music selected and performed from among historical and contemporary composers, genres, and periods is achieved through the course of a year s instruction and not within any individual concert. Attendance Policy Chorus is a unique learning opportunity for students. The required curriculum involves time both in and out of school, and focuses on working as a group. Please take time to read this important information regarding required attendance. Lee-Davis families have very busy schedules. It is extremely important to understand this information and plan ahead by adding chorus events to your family calendar, in order to minimize last minute conflicts. Please understand that due to the nature of the class, not all conflicts will be excused. Excused absences will be made up through an alternative assignment. REHEARSALS Students may only be excused from required after school rehearsals by talking to Mrs. Cartwright in advance. Absences will be excused for school related conflicts or major family events. Unexcused absences will result in no credit. * Excused students (including those who miss rehearsal due to illness) must make up the missed rehearsal by scheduling a rehearsal with a dance captain to learn missed material. The online form must be completed within two weeks of the missed rehearsal in order to a student to receive credit: **Dress Rehearsals are mandatory, and will not be excused except in extreme circumstances. Students who do not attend the dress rehearsal may not be permitted to perform in the concert, at the discretion of Mrs. Cartwright. CONCERTS Students will not be excused from required performances except in cases of extreme illness, family emergencies, major school, church, and family events. Parents should contact Mrs. Cartwright at or mcartwright@hcps.us if an emergency arises. Mrs. Cartwright should be contacted at least 2 weeks in advance if a conflict of events exists. Excused students will be given the opportunity to make up the points. Unexcused students will receive no credit. ***Emergency absences not reconciled within 2 days of the concert will stand as unexcused.*** 5
6 CLASS Students with unexcused absences during the school day will not be given the opportunity to make up credit for missed assignments, rehearsals, or performances. Mrs. Cartwright has the right to deny a student the right to perform in a concert due to excessive absences, regardless of whether they are excused. Please do not schedule appointments during chorus class. It is vital that ensemble members are present in class. CONFLICTS Your schedule is your responsibility. If you plan ahead, often rehearsals can be split in order for you to make at least a portion of sports practices or other school activities. Do not rely on your teammates, sponsors, or coaches to let Mrs. Cartwright know about conflicts. Graded assignments will not be excused for appointments or work. PLEASE NOTE: DRESS REHEARSALS AND CONCERTS WILL NOT BE EXCUSED FOR SPORTS PRACTICE/REHEARSALS. Examples of Unexcused Absences: 1. Employment 2. Failure to arrange for transportation 3.

Sectional Rehearsals and Captain s Practices Sectionals and Captain s Practices are scheduled and assigned by the choral director. All section or ensemble members are expected to be in attendance for the entirety of the rehearsal, unless excused in advance by Mrs. Cartwright.

A member will follow HCPS and LDHS policies at all times.

A member will cause no disturbance while rehearsals are in session. A member will not talk while the Director or Acting Director is on the podium. A member will at no time be guilty of rude or disturbing behavior. A member will not eat or drink (with the exception of water) during rehearsal. Although not mandatory, private instruction with reputable and approved teachers is advised and strongly recommended. Trips Away From School Students are expected to abide by HCPS regulations at all times. Each member will be directly responsible to the Director and the chaperones on the bus. There will be no excessive noise or rude behavior at any time. Performance attire must be worn as required. Unless specified for the entire group, no private transportation will be allowed going to an event. All students must ride the bus. A student may return from an event with his/her parents only if the Director is notified beforehand by a note from the parent or is contacted by the parent concerning this action during the event. Proper forms for medication (prescription and over the counter) are required for all students. Flex Time Flex time can often be used to make up work or receive extra help. Before coming to the chorus room, please double check that the room is not already in use by an ensemble. Please plan ahead when making decisions regarding this valuable time. Raising Funds for Chorus Events Why do we raise money for chorus? General Fund This money is used for equipment, music, scholarships, special events, and deferring the student cost of chorus. The remainder of the monies raised goes toward general operating costs and supplies for the choral department. Individual Student Accounts These credits are applied to individual accounts. The individual accounts can be used by the student to defer the cost of chorus events and fees. Individual account credits carry over from year to year during the student s time in chorus. Applying your Personal Account to Fees: Contact Niki Jeter to use Individual Student Accounts: nicole.d.jeter@comcast.net 4
