1. Please Bring to All Rehearsals

2012 Senior Choir

Congratulations! You have decided to be part of the 2012 Senior Choir. I am really pleased that you will be sharing in the magic that is singing together as a group.

Points to note:

1. Please bring to all rehearsals:  Writing pencil  Highlighter  Small Eraser  A clean, blue display file where ALL copies of music/lyrics given out during the year will be kept.

We cannot work together at our best if people continuously forget to bring their choir file and writing implements. If choir files are forgotten too frequently then you may be asked to leave the choir. I will contact home before this point. Be responsible for your own gear!

2. Choir starts at 2pm sharp. Please ensure that you have taken responsibility for finishing your work so you can leave your classroom on time. Our time together is precious and easily eaten up if we don’t start on time.

3. Talking and mucking around during choir is not appropriate. If we are singing we are singing. If you are listening to instructions you are listening to instructions. If a section of the choir other than yours is working on their singing then you are quiet. Simple really! If you are disruptive during choir then you will be asked to return to your classroom. If this continues to occur then you will be asked to leave choir altogether. Perhaps bring a piece of paper for doodling on whilst waiting?

4. If you have continued to attend after week 5 of term 1 this means that you have committed to being in the choir for the entire year. You and your parent/care giver will need to sign the slip at the bottom of this letter to show that you understand this commitment. If you wish to stop coming to choir then this MUST be discussed with me before-hand and a note or phone call from your parent/care giver must also occur.

LETS HAVE A GREAT YEAR SINGING
