Greetings, Leopard musicians!
It is TIME to begin another exciting season of England Choir!
What is England Choir? England Choir is an after school opportunity for 4th and 5th grade students who enjoy coming together to sing, play instruments, and perform awesome music!
When do we meet? England Choir meets every Thursday afternoon from 2:55-4:00 in Mrs. Gibbs’s music room. The first rehearsal will be Thursday, January 31. Please make sure you have a transportation plan worked out before applying to join England Choir. Car rider students are dismissed to the car rider area in the back of the school at 4:00, and MUST be picked up on time. Students who are picked up late (after 4:10) more than twice will not be allowed to continue England Choir. Walkers and YMCA members will be dismissed to their respective areas after rehearsal.
How do I join? An application form will be available as an attachment to this webpage. Paper copies will also be handed out during music class to students who are interested in joining. Complete and return the application form to Mrs. Gibbs or Mrs. Clawson no later than Thursday, January 24. We will not accept forms turned in after the deadline. Space is limited to 80 students. Applications will be reviewed carefully, and a lottery system will be utilized if we receive more than 80 applications. Your child will receive a letter of acceptance if he or she is selected to become a member of England Choir.
Does it cost money to join? This semester, there will be a fee of $10 for all students who are selected for the choir. We are redesigning the t-shirt for our “Time” themed concert on May 9, therefore all choir members (new and returning) will need to purchase the new shirt. Students who are selected may turn in their money at the first rehearsal.
Other information: In order to be a member of England Choir, you must be available to perform in the spring concert on Thursday, May 9, at 6:30 PM. Every rehearsal counts toward working for this performance. To miss the performance would nullify all the time and effort we put in to each rehearsal! England Choir members are expected to attend every rehearsal and performance, unless there is an illness or family emergency. If you have another Thursday afternoon obligation such as tutoring, UIL, or any other club, you must choose one. Students may not split their time between choir rehearsal and another club. Students with perfect rehearsal attendance will be rewarded, and recognized at the concert!
There will be an extra rehearsal on Tuesday, May 7, from 2:55-4:00 on the stage. This is an extremely important rehearsal, as it is the week of the concert and the day that we piece the show together on the stage, therefore, all choir members are expected to attend!
We look forward to another great semester of awesome music!
