On-going assignments: **Performances As stated in the opening -day choir packet which was sent home, a significant percentage of the student's choir grade is determined by their participation in performances. Essentially, their midterm and final exams are the community tour and the evening performances. **Special rehearsals The A and B choirs rehearse at brunch or lunch 2 or 3 times a quarter in preparation for joint performances. Attendance is required to get credit for this "homework". A-choir students are required to attend rehearsals with their section (1st soprano, 2nd soprano, alto or baritone) once a week at brunch. ** Permission slips Two weeks before each choral activity, permission slips are distributed. These require a parent/guardian signature, and the due date is indicated. Permissions slips are the responsibility of students, and their timely return will affect this graded responsiblity. Check the calendar for choral activity dates. **Practice Sheets Students will be given a practice sheet in October and asked to record their practice time during the week. This 4-week activity will require a parent/guardian signature at the end of each week to verify the student's practice times.
