CONCERT CHOIR SYLLABUS

Course Description: An auditioned choir of students in grades 10-12.  Prerequisites are one year in Chorus I or instructor permission.  Students in this choir represent the school and community in various concerts, competitions, and trips.

Concerts: All concerts and performances are required and are a part of the semester grade.  Listed below are the performances that are required for the 2003-2004 school year.

Fall Concert (October 28^th)

 Holiday Concert (December 14^th)

 District Contests-Solo & Ensembles (April 2nd)

                                          Spring Concert (May 3^rd)

Any unexcused absence from these performances will result in a reduction of 15% from the student's grade.  Absence due to illness or family emergency must be verified in written form by the parent.  Use the music department website to fill out absence form.

Website: We have a BHS Music Department website that will contain lots of useful information for students and parents.  The website address is www.bolivarmusic.org. 

Choir Robes: Students will be issued a choir robe to wear for concerts and performances.  Students are responsible for the care and transportation of the robe to and from performances.  Any loss or damage to the robe will be the financial responsibility of the student.

Grading System: Each rehearsal is worth 10 points.  If necessary points will be deducted based on the student’s attendance, participation, and behavior.  Unexcused absences will result in a 0 for the day.  Concerts will make-up approximately 25% of the semester grade.

Truancy: Is defined as “being absent from class without the prior knowledge and permission of the teacher”.  Students who stay in another class, computer lab, library, etc. without the permission of the instructor will be counted truant and receive a discipline referral.  Any student who chooses to “skip” this class will be removed from the group the following semester and will be declared ineligible to perform on concerts for the remainder of that semester.

Tardies: Students arriving late to class without a note will be counted tardy.  In addition to the consequences outlined in the student handbook, students will be required to put away the folders for their section.

ISS:  Any Concert Choir or Chorus Line student receiving ISS will be required to make-up all rehearsal time missed before or after school within one week of the incurred absence.

Activity Fee:  An activity fee of $20 is required for all students enrolled in this class.  The fee is due at the beginning of the school year and is non-refundable.  Checks should be made payable to Bolivar High School.  Payment of the fee is due on September 5th.

Alcohol/Drug Policy: Students in Concert Choir and Chorus Line will be following the same policy that is in effect for athletes at Bolivar High School.  Use of alcohol and non-prescriptive drugs during school events or after school hours is prohibited.  Please read the attached information sheet for complete information on this policy.  Students in this group will be held to a high standard of conduct. Because this group represents the school at various concerts and festivals students must meet the expectations of the director and administration in terms of citizenship and conduct.  Students failing to meet these expectations will not be allowed to perform and represent the school and community

“We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
