Welcome
5th Grade Chorus
As we begin the 2008-2009 school year, we also mark
the beginning of the Juniper Park 5th grade chorus
performance season. The students and I will begin
work on repertoire that will cover the demands of
our performance year. I plan to get the students involved
with as much performing as possible. I also plan to
give them an understanding of how music operates both
on a theoretical and professional level.
All students
will be expected to read music at a beginner/intermediate
level as well as attend all concerts in proper performance
attire. Performance attire will consist of white dress
shirts (dark tie) and dark pants for boys. Girls will
wear a white blouse with a dark skirt or slacks or
if they choose, a dark colored dress. Black footwear
(no sneakers) is expected for all students. Attendance
is also expected at all concerts. If there is a problem
attending a specific concert date please let me know
as soon as possible. Currently, concert dates have
been planned for December and June. Our winter program
will be held at Juniper Park on December 17th @ 10:00am
and December 18th @7pm. The 7 o’clock concert
will be held for parents while the 10:00 concert will
be held for students and staff of J.P. The Spring
concert will be held on June 3rd @ 1:30pm for parents
and community. More information about concert dates
will continue throughout the year. I hope to perform
in as many as possible.
If there are
any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me
at Juniper Park School during normal school hours
and I will try to help you the best I can. I want
to thank you for your interest in the choral program
and I look forward to seeing you at your child’s
concerts.
Thanks again,
