Expectations

• Singers are expected to attend all concerts ~ these are our “games” for which we practice every
 	day.  Don’t fail to show up for the big game!  Your team is counting on you.

• Emergency absences from concerts will  be excused ONLY with a signed, written explanation or
 	email from your parent/guardian.

• Non-emergency absences from a concert will not be excused.

• Concert clothes are required.  You must provide your own solid black pants. No crop pants or 			
skirts.  Comfortable shoes (not flipflops, etc.) are also required.  You do not need to buy 
	special shoes; black or dark shoes are better if you have them. 

• Singers are expected to give their best effort every day.  It is in our rehearsals where we develop 
	our skills to be quality musicians and performers. Work hard to achieve success for yourself 		
and your team.

• Your grade is based on effort, participation, teamwork, written assignments and test scores, and 		
how well you improve your vocal, rehearsal, sight-singing, and performance skills.  

•  Remember, it’s not how much natural skill or talent you have -- it’s what you do with what you do 
	have!  Everyone has something special to contribute to the team.
