Chorus Dues

Chorus dues for 2015 - 2016 are $30 per student for the year.  These dues go towards the chorus operating budget, and I use this money to purchase new music, copyright clearance, concert props, costumes, snacks, pizza, and chorus t-shirts.  Please make the check out to Level Creek ES.  Dues can also be paid electronically through MyPaymentsPlus.  If you have more than one child in chorus, the fees are $50 for the year.  Thanks!

Chorus "Rules of Thumb"

For chorus rehearsals:
    *Report to the music room no later than 7:45 AM
    *Please drop off students at the front of the school at or before 7:40 AM.
    *To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late.
    *The music room door locks promptly at 7:55 AM and anyone who is late will be counted
        absent.  Students will return to the Front Office area to wait for the 8:20 AM bell.
    *Chorus members are expected to be attentive and to participate during rehearsal.
    *Infractions are handled in a "three strikes, you're out" philosophy.

Only 4th and 5th grade students at Level Creek are eligible to join the Level Creek Chorus and membership is by application only.  New chorus applicants will need to individually audition for Mr. H at times designated in the application.  Those students returning to chorus (5th graders) will not need to re-audition.  Chorus members participate in a variety of performances, including holiday and spring programs, community celebrations, and occasional athletic events.  LCE Chorus members are held to the highest standards of musical excellence, behavior, academics, and participation, so it is not unusual that some students are unable to fulfill these requirements.  Please read the chorus application carefully to determine if this performance opportunity is right for you and your family.
