2 Welcome to the Children s Choirs of Covenant Presbyterian Church! To grow, to serve, and to lead To grow... We all want our children to grow in their faith and grow in the ways of the church. A great way to do this is through choir, where we experience the joy of music in worship, and celebrate God s blessings with the congregation. To serve... Children have naturally generous spirits and desire to serve in their church and community where many areas of service are not open to them. As member of a choir, children get one of their first opportunities to serve as part of something larger than themselves. To lead... Leadership within the church can be one of the most powerful ways to worship our Lord. Choir gives children an important role in the church and in worship at an early age, helping them to learn and practice those important leadership skills. Our Goal... To produce beautiful, expressive singing in an environment of love and acceptance for each child in the community. As part of the Children s Choirs, we hope to help your child develop: Singing and musical skills Listening skills The ability to focus Self-discipline Group coordination and social skills A community focus, working towards team goals Leadership skills Appropriate behavior in front of congregation or audience A deeper understanding of worship leadership Thank you for bringing your child to Covenant s children s choirs. We will all grow in God s word and give of ourselves by singing and playing music to glorify Him!

3 DISCIPLINE AND SAFETY POLICY To ensure the safety and success of all children participating in Covenant s Children s Choirs, the following guidelines MUST be maintained by all participants. SAFETY All children must be signed in and signed out of every children s choir rehearsal by an approved guardian. No child will be released out of the choir rehearsal without an approved guardian. If you are picking up other children than your own, please sign out every child you are collecting. Covenant youth chorale members will sign themselves in and out of rehearsals. No child or youth may leave a rehearsal without supervision. DISCIPLINE No child will be allowed to disrupt the learning of others during a choir rehearsal. All children will be given at least 3 opportunities during the rehearsal to participate in a positive way. (We will use age-appropriate methods unique to each choir.) If a behavior problem during rehearsal persists, your child will be given (1) a warning, (2) separation from the other children, (3) time in the hallway with an adult. If the behavior problem continues, the emergency contact number will be called, and the parent or guardian will be expected to come and pick up the child from rehearsal. REMEMBER THE FOUR BE S: Be on time Be prepared Behave Be a musical witness of God s Word in song Note a removal from rehearsal is the very last resort for the directors. It is very important to us that your children attend rehearsals and participate to their fullest ability; however, disruptive and/or harmful behavior cannot be tolerated.

4 EXPECTATIONS FOR SINGERS Come to rehearsals, not just presentations Come to presentations, not just rehearsals Be on time for all rehearsals and presentations Please use the bathroom before coming to rehearsal -- leaving rehearsal to go to the bathroom causes an interruption in singing and learning for the whole choir No gum, food, or drinks No toys -- leave all toys at home or in the car; they can cause major distraction Absolutely NO playing the piano without permission Pay attention to the director Respect ALL adults LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN SING, SING, SING! IF YOU MUST MISS A REHEARSAL OR PRESENTATION, PLEASE CALL OR YOUR CHOIR DIRECTOR AS FAR IN ADVANCE AS POSSIBLE! ATTENDANCE IS IMPORTANT -- THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WHO REHEARSE REGULARLY DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE MUSICAL RESULTS WHEN THE CHOIR SINGS IN WORSHIP OR OTHER PRESENTATIONS. john.richardson@covenantpresby.org EXPECTATIONS FOR PARENT VOLUNTEERS All parents are asked to assist in rehearsals and/or church presentations Rehearsal assistants should: Arrive 5 minutes early to rehearsal so that you can be prepared to greet choir members as they are dropped off Facilitate the signing in and out of children at choir rehearsals (NO CHILD CAN LEAVE A REHEARSAL UNSUPERVISED) Escort children to and from bathroom or water fountain, and help children with illness, including calling the emergency contact if needed Be proactive during rehearsals; turn your phone to silent, and please do not chat, text, or during rehearsal time Move among the children or youth during the rehearsals Stop any talking or other inappropriate behavior of choir members by placing your hand on the shoulder of the offender, moving child/youth to a different seat, etc. (see discipline and safety rules) Be nice, but firm - your director is counting on you to maintain order so that she can teach the music! Assist choir director as needed by passing out music, instruments, props, etc. Be positive and encouraging at all times Note: If you are assisting with a church presentation or musical, you must attend the rehearsal immediately preceding that presentation. Specific instructions will be given as to what is expected during the presentation, and we want our adult assistants to be as prepared as the children!

5 Children Singing in Worship 2015! October 18-11am Traditional worship-detailed schedule below Listen here: November 15- CIC-combined traditional and contemporary worship service-10:30am December 6- Lessons and Carols: Time TBD December 24- Christmas Eve Children and Family Worship 11AM Schedule for Angelus and Chorister Choirs for October 18, :30 K-5 check-in in Education Wing 207 o Children sit in their usual choir rows by grade for a short rehearsal 10:40 Encourage any trips to bathroom at this time o Children are assisted by adults to robe (blue robes for angelus, red robes for choristers) organized by size - most wear 36" Should hit above ankle but not quite mid-calf 10:50 K-5 line up in same order as seated rows (5th graders first) to walk over to sanctuary o Choir group photos will be taken at this time o Walk single file with one adult in front, one in back, and one in the middle to the sanctuary o Have one of 2nd graders hold the doors to the sanctuary o Adults grab a bulletin on the way in o Enter sanctuary by far left door (ramp). o Children sit in the side pews on the left side (transepts) at the front of the church. Children will sing after the Passing of the Peace and should walk to the stairs immediately for directors to place After singing, children sit down at the chancel steps for children's worship, then return to their pew the way they came (this time kindergarteners first!) o one adult directs them at the corner to guide kids out and lead kids to their pew Parents can then take Kindergarteners to child care Children will de-robe after the worship service in between the Narthex and the chapel where parents can pick up. If a child needs to leave mid-service, parents should escort them back to the choir room to return their choir robe. Covenant is saddened to share the news that Jamelia Davis, director of the Angelus Choir grades K-2, has decided to further her career and has ended her leadership here at Covenant Presbyterian. We wish her the best in her ventures and will miss her presence here at Covenant. In light of this news, we are excited to introduce our interim director of the Angelus Choir, Tracie Parker, who will direct the Angelus choir on an interim basis. Ms. Tracie Parker is a Native of Charlotte, North Carolina and is currently an elementary music teacher at Pineville Elementary School. Tracie has been a music teacher in Charlotte, NC for the past 6 years and has taught band and general music to students in Kindergarten through eighth grade. She holds a Bachelor of Music degree from Virginia State University and a Master of Music Education in Elementary Music Education from Winthrop University. Tracie is a flutist and joined the contemporary worship team this summer, and she plays jazz, the guitar, piano, and is a singer. Tracie believes that one of her greatest gifts is working with young children to help them gain knowledge and a love for music.
