Voyager Choir
Handbook Membership
At Falcon Pass Elementary,
membership in the Choir program is an honor that should not be taken
lightly. We expect the best from our
choir members, because they Expectations
1.
Be in your
seat and ready to begin on time.
2.
Have your
materials with you at EVERY rehearsal.
3.
Follow
Directions
4.
Hands, feet
and objects should be kept to yourself.
5.
No talking
between songs. Behavior should never be
an issue during rehearsals and performances for any choir student. If it becomes an issue during rehearsal time,
the student’s name will be recorded. Should
any name be recorded three times, that student will be asked not to come to
choir any longer.
Parents will provide transportation to and from
rehearsals or performances as needed according to our performance
schedule. Students need to be picked up promptly
when rehearsals occur after school. We
have appointments and responsibilities after school hours that require our
attention just like you. Please keep
this in mind. If you see that you are
running late, please contact us at school (
Rehearsals
Rehearsal times will be as
follows:
¯
Tuesdays Before
school from
¯
Thursdays After
school from
There will be times closer
to performances when we will need to put both groups together. I will provide a
calendar to help you plan for those times.
If you do not get a hard copy at home by way of your 4th or 5th
grade messenger, you can check the Attendance
Each member is as
important to the choir as a baseball player or soccer player is to his or her
team. Without each person doing his or
her best to help the team succeed, we can’t be a winning team. Every person in the choir is needed to help
make the choir a success.
Attendance will be taken
and recorded at the beginning of each rehearsal. Any student with an excess of four absences
during a semester will be dismissed.
Students will receive a reminder at the second and fourth absences. At the time of the fifth absence, the student
will receive a dismissal note.
Re-admittance into the choir will be on a case-by-case basis and is
entirely up to the director.
Uniforms

team there is normally a uniform that identifies you as a member of that
team. We want everyone to know that we

At the end of the year I
will have participatory certificates for all students who are a part of the
choir throughout the entire performance season.
These certificates will be awarded at our annual awards ceremony. Additionally, I will be looking throughout
the year for two outstanding choir members to whom I will give a special award
at the awards ceremony. Performance Dates
We
would welcome any invitations to sing that come our way. For performance dates or any other
information pertaining to choir news, please see the choir calendar, either on your
hard copy or on the website.
