LovettsvilleElementary School
5TH GRADE CHORUS
2016
2016 – 2017 School Year
Students in 5th grade are invited to join the LovettsvilleElementary School chorus. Chorus is an optional after-school program that is open to all students wishing to participate. Students in 5th grade chorus will be rehearsing Tuesdays after school from October through December. Students in chorus will be learning and reading two-part music, performing and reinforcing the fundamentals of singing. Chorus is an extension of our regular music class and gives students an opportunity to sing, perform and grow musically.
Students will remain after school and will report to the cafeteria, where attendance will be taken by a chorus helper. Students are welcome to bring a snack to have during attendance time and are encouraged to bring a water bottle to rehearsals. Chorus will begin at 2:35pm and conclude promptly at 3:45 pm unless otherwise specified. Mrs. Stillman would love to have one or two parent volunteers at every rehearsal. If you can help, please contact Mrs. Stillman .
