  2. Students should never fear singing in chorus. The goal is for students to become better, no matter what talent level they begin at.

  3. Things coming up… Folders-students will get their folder assignments VERY soon too. We will talk in great detail about folders when I pass them out. Folders will be graded through out the year for content and organization. Students are responsible for taking care of their folders. A variety of music-we are singing in several languages and in different styles.

  4. How can a studentstay out of trouble this year? • Respect Chorus---If you wouldn’t do it in your other classes, don’t think you can do it in chorus. • No Food, Gum, or drinks (other than water)- you can’t sing with something extra in your mouth. And the Music department would like to keep all our new rooms and equipment clean • Know how to come into class and how to treat the materials given to you. • PARTICIPATE!!!

  5. How do connections work? We are on a Block Schedule during connections Basically, you will either have French or this class everyday. Not both in one day. There are less days of class than other schools have so we need to work hard when we are here.

  6. Grades Rehearsal Skills are 40% Rehearsal skills include being prepared for class, actively involved in assigned task and posture. Points will be given daily. Classwork and Quizzes are 40% Classwork is anything you are expected to complete in class. Question Quizzes will be done every 5 class days. Test / Performance Projects are 20% Tests might be performed or written. A performance project is similar to a end of the unit project or test. We will have at least 1 each nine weeks.
