REQUIRED DAILY CHOIR MATERIALS

Students are required to provide a 1-1/2" BLACK (BLACK!) 3-ring binder, a pencil, and note paper for taking classroom discussion/theory notes.

GUM RESTRICTION

Singing requires responsive and often deep breathing. As a result, choking is a concern. As a result, students CANNOT be permitted to chew gum or eat snacks during warm-ups, during the rehearsal, or during performances. For the safety and welfare of every singer, gum chewing is strictly prohibited during choir class and/or at performances. Food and colored beverages are also prohibited on the carpeted chair risers and/or in the choir room except for special occasions by permission of the director. For assurance that students are safe from aspiration (injury or death) parents will be notified if student resistance or a problem persists regarding this rule. Please explain the importance of this concern to your child.
