11 Selection of Choral Literature Students participating in courses offered by the Vocal Music Department at Valley Southwoods Freshman High School will study and perform a wide variety of choral literature. The director determines the selection of literature based on the following criteria: A. The literature should be of appropriate musical material to aid the physical development and function of the vocal mechanism. B. The literature will include representation from the historical periods of Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Twentieth Century, including multicultural representation. C. The literature will be written by composers of historical significance or those presenting valid alternative programming opportunities. D. The literature will represent a wide variety of text sources and types. Iowa Choral Directors Association Policy Statement It is the position of the Iowa Choral Directors Association (ICDA) that the inclusion of significant sacred and secular music is imperative to facilitate a total music experience for Iowa s youth. From a global perspective, choral music offers a wealth of literature that reflects and supports diverse cultures, traditions, and people, as well as compositional styles of all eras. To achieve any educational objective, the quality of repertoire is of paramount importance. While public school teaching objectives and criteria for repertoire selection should not support religious indoctrination, the selection of quality music will invariably include music with a sacred text within its broad scope. Music without sacred text, architecture minus cathedral, or painting without scriptural themes, is incomplete, even from a secular point of view. Therefore, to exclude sacred music from the public school curriculum would hamper student, as well as teacher, opportunities in gleaning artistic understanding and aesthetic expression. Sacred refers to all manner of religious beliefs and not only to the Judeo- Christian teachings. The term study includes not only classroom instruction but public performance as well. Prior to the 17th century, almost all significant choral music was associated with a sacred text. Secular refers to non-religious considerations. Since choral music with a sacred text comprises such a substantial portion of the artistic repertoire from the choral medium and the history of music, it should retain an important place in the music education of Iowa s youth.
12 Performance Policy & Discipline Expectations Participation in public performance is mandatory. Any foreseen absence must be excused by the director at least two days prior to the performance date. All absences will be reflected in grading assessments. Any absence from a performance will require reassessment to demonstrate skills used during the performance. In the even a conflict should arise between activities within the high school, an arrangement agreeable to all parties will be worked out in consultation with the student, activity sponsors involved, the principal, and the parent/guardian. The principal, following consultation with the director, will make decisions concerning absenteeism beyond this point. Discipline Expectations & Consequences Each student/parent/guardian is furnished a copy of the Discipline Policy of the West Des Moines Community School District. This document clearly defines breaches of discipline and outlines administrative rules and procedures for handling student discipline. All students and parents should be aware of the contents of this policy. The Discipline Policy applies to students while on school premises, while on school-owed and -operated school buses or on chartered buses, while engaged in school-sponsored activities, and while away from school grounds. It is expected that Valley Southwoods students who participate in vocal music activities will represent themselves and the West Des Moines Community Schools in an appropriate and responsible manner. Upon any breach of discipline by a vocal music student, a conference will be held with the student, vocal music director, parents, and principal. Sanctions will be determined at that time and may include out-of-school or in-school suspension.
13 Daily Rehearsal Expectations The Vocal Music Department is proud of the outstanding accomplishments of the choirs and individual members of the program. The continued success of the ensembles is dependent upon the daily contribution of each member. We anticipate each individual will approach rehearsal with high expectations and a willingness to work toward the fulfillment and realization of those expectations. Students will be expected to: 1. Demonstrate an awareness of the importance of rehearsal time. (Be in their seats with their folder and all necessary materials at the bell. Rehearsals end when the director is finished conducting.) 2. Bring a pencil and all music to all rehearsals. 3. Focus mentally on the conductor and the literature. 4. Stand when their section and full group are rehearsing and keep talking to a minimum during rehearsals. 5. Focus physical energy on the correct application of proper singing technique. (sit tall, breathe deeply, sing with space) 6. Demonstrate respect for the rehearsal facilities and equipment. (No playing the piano prior to rehearsals. Keep the room and equipment clean and orderly. Take appropriate care of practice room facilities.) 7. Leave food, pop, gum, and candy out of the rehearsal room. Practice Room Procedures Students are encouraged to use the practice facilities available in the Vocal Music Department. Practice rooms are to remain locked when not in use. A key must be obtained from the director to open the room, and again to lock the room upon completion of the practice session. No food or drink of any kind is allowed in the practice facilities. If food, drink, or trash is found in any practice room, the directors reserve the right to not allow students to use any of the practice room spaces. A maximum of four students will be allowed per practice room unless special permission is given. Larger ensembles may use the ensemble room with special permission from the instructor. Students will be expected to treat the facilities and equipment with care.
14 Valley Voices The Valley Voices Booster Organization exists to support the Vocal Music Department through fundraising and service opportunities. Parents of students enrolled in vocal music ensembles at Valley Southwoods are encouraged to actively participate by attending monthly meetings. See the calendar below or charmsoffice.com for specific dates. Valley Voices makes significant contributions to the secondary vocal program and we welcome all parents to get involved and support their student(s)!

If credit card payment is activated, you will see blue buttons in the four main areas of the financial statement indicating your ability to make online payments. You will also see links to enter Practice Logs, view Grades, and use the Recording Studio if the director has enabled these options. Most importantly, the parent page assists both you and the teacher to communicate with each other. Stay up to date with what s going on with your student!
16 Vocal Music Awards & Lettering In addition to receiving a letter in Vocal Music, students are eligible for a number of awards based on their participation and achievement in various contests, festivals, competitions, and department-sponsored activities throughout the year. A partial list of additional awards includes: OPUS Participation Certificates: presented to students accepted into the OPUS Honor Chorus All-State Jazz Participation Pins: presented to students accepted into the All- State Jazz Choir. The Vocal Music Department proudly acknowledges the outstanding accomplishments of our ensembles and individual members in an annual Awards Ceremony/Senior Recital. Students in each ensemble are eligible to earn a letter award in recognition of their contributions to the program. Letters will be awarded to students who have distinguished themselves through their performance and participation. In order to receive a Vocal Music Letter, a student must earn a minimum of 1,000 points during the school year. A letter will be given the first year and a bar for each successive year the student qualifies. Points do not accumulate from year to year, and point total requirements are subject to change. A point worksheet will be available in CANVAS.
17 West Des Moines Community Schools Music Department Out-of-School Performance Practices Due to their nature as performing groups, music ensembles utilize both classroom and out-of-class time. They are considered co-curricular because the outcomes of class instruction are used in public demonstrations for an audience. The groups most frequently used in such a dual role are band, orchestral, and choral ensembles. The vitality and value of these classes are affected through group preparation for public performances during in-class and out-of-class times. I the director hold in high regard my students time, energies, and contributions, and on my part, I am dedicated to most efficiently using time spent in the classroom and outside of it. For students, the nature of our ensembles inherently includes out-ofclass time preparation. We want to ensure that students who enroll in our classes understand that the conditions for satisfactory grades include out-of-class performances. A schedule of performances for the semester is given to students at the beginning of each semester and sent home to parents/guardians for planning purposes. Because of the collaboration fundamental to our ensembles, we rely on the contributions of all members, and we aim to make it as easy as possible for students to attend out-ofclass performances. It is important to note that some of the class and co-curricular activities are conducted off-campus, and students may be responsible for arranging their own transportation. Notification of any such event will be sent to parent/guardians prior to performances. If a student must be absent, written agreement of the out-of-class schedule from both parents/guardians and student is required. Approved absences will be honored when the director is informed before the performance, and arrangements to make up the absence should be discussed with the director. Students are encouraged to make up the work in advance if possible. Again, we d like to stress that parents are asked to provide a written excuse to the primary ensemble director when their student will be absent from a performance. In the event a conflict should arise between activities within the school, an arrangement agreeable to all parties will be worked out in consultation with the student and the activity sponsors involved. All performing groups encourage parent/student communication with the respective directors. Parental participation in the junior high school is appreciated and valued as it enhances the performance program. I the director pledge to
18 continually inform administration, students, and parents of upcoming events, performances, and festivals that take place during the year. The structure and implementation of these out-of-school performance practices in the music disciplines is consistent within each building and throughout the district. Thank you for reviewing the information presented. The communication and performance expectations are important to your student s development in the music program! Please detach and return the form below to your vocal music director by Friday, Sept. 7th Please sign, detach, and return this form to Valley Southwoods Vocal Music Department. We have received and reviewed the information in the Handbook and understand the additional commitment to out-of-school performances and presentations.
