Welcome Back! As we begin the school year, it is very important for students and parents to understand the requirements, guidelines, and grading policies for the 7th and 8th grade chorus. Although students will not have homework every night, listening assignments will occur throughout the year.
So that each rehearsal can be the best, students will be expected to demonstrate their understanding of the following "I will" statements. Being a member of the chorus is like being the member of a team, everyone needs to do their part each and every day so that the team can succeed.

There should be no conflicts with concert dates and student schedules. Concerts supercede all practices of any other teams/dancing etc. If there is a Concert and a Game or Recital on the same night, please see Ms. Riccio or Mr. Donovan immediately.
