  • Here you will find everything you need to get started in choir whether you begin the first day of school or later.

    This CHECKLIST will ensure that you complete all tasks. Submit it with all supporting documents when you have completed all tasks on the list. Partially completely checklists will not be accepted.

    1) Course Description Consent Form: Have you read the Course Description (Concert Choir, Chamber Singers) carefully paying particular attention to the Grading details and information on Mandatory Performances? This is available ONLY on the MySchool page - paper copies are not being distributed. Submit the signed consent form (both you and your parent must sign). By signing this form, you and your parent are agreeing to abide by the information contained in the Course Description.

     2) Field Trip Permission Form Packets & Parent Waiver: Turn in the packet making sure that ALL forms are completed (permission forms for the CCS and CCDA Honor Choir Festivals will be distributed later to interested students). All parents complete the “Classroom Volunteer & Field Trip Chaperone” form so that I have this on file if they decide to chaperone an event this year. They only have to do this form once for the whole year!

     3) Performance Outfit Rental Agreement: Complete the form with your Name, Music Ensemble, and Student and Parent Signatures ONLY. You do NOT need to complete any other information.

     4) Music Boosters Enrollment Form (OPTIONAL): Turn in a completed enrollment form with check, cash, or pay online (link is on CUSD website). PLEASE consider supporting this vital organization by becoming a member. This is optional but absolutely essential for the health of our music program.

     5) Mandatory Performance Dates: Tear this off and keep for your records. By checking this box you certify that you have posted the printed calendar of mandatory dates and written them in family calendars. An electronic copy is available on the class MySchool page.

     6) Register for Remind.com: All new and returning students must do this even if you previously registered for the same class. Here are the instructions for Concert Choir and Chamber Singers.

    • If you are interested in joining this outstanding choral ensemble for next year, you will need to come and sing an audition for me during office hours on January 16 or 30. A sign-up sheet will be posted on the bulletin board in the music room. You will sign-up for a specific time slot.

      The audition will consist of three tasks, very similar to the CCS and ACDA Honor Choir auditions:

      1)  Prepared Song: Sing “Sebben Crudele”. Practice recordings and sheet music are available here.

      2)  Sight-reading: You will be asked to sight-read 1 melody from sight.

      3)  Vocalize to determine vocal range
