Classroom Expectations, Procedures and Policies are all in the Choir Handbook.

Excerpt from Choir Handbook

"Concert Expectations

1.       Students will arrive at the assigned call time, usually (but not always) 30 minutes before show time

2.      Students will cooperate at all times with directors and chaperones

3.      All students will come to concerts in concert dress.

4.      Students will refrain from talking when on stage or backstage.  THE AUDIENCE CAN HEAR YOU!

5.      Students are required to stay for the entire length of the performance unless the director ahead of time approves an early departure

6.      Students must have a ride home after any performance.  It is the director’s hope that parents will want to attend these performances.  Otherwise students should be picked up within 15 minutes of the end of any concert, after-school rehearsal, or trip.

7.      Students are required to attend all required concerts and rehearsals.  They are all counted as test grades.  The only excused absences are illness or death in the family.  The director must be informed of any other absence in writing before the concert.  Performances are an end result of class work and fulfill the requirements of the Choir TEKS as determined by the TEA.  Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Grades-  Grades will be a combination of participation grades and performances.  Students are expected to cooperate and conduct themselves in a responsible manner during all rehearsals and performances.  Points will be deducted for off-task behavior.   Participation grades will also reflect periodic written exercises and vocal skills demonstrations."
