FWISD Choir Student Code of Conduct

FWISD
Choir Student Code of Conduct
Attendance 
Unlike individual activities such as an academic class, it is impossible to makeup activities that occur in a choir rehearsal. Absences will have a negative impact on the student's grade.

Additional Rehearsals/Activities 
Students will be given adequate notice of all additional rehearsals and activities outside of the regular class  period. These rehearsals and activities are course requirements and are vital to the success of the choral  program. Every effort will be made to minimize the amount of out-of-class time required. Therefore, absences from these activities will be treated in the same manner as an absence from class, and will affect the student's grade.
In the event of a conflict with another scheduled school activity, it is the responsibility of the student to notify the sponsors of the activities. The sponsors will then determine the student's obligation.

Concert Attendance 
Concerts are the ultimate evaluation of many weeks of preparation and class work. Choir members are expected to be present for the entire time of each required concert. An unexcused absence from a concert will lower the student's grade dramatically. Absences and tardies will be excused for cases of medical emergency or death in the family. Prior notification of any conflict with a required concert or rehearsal is required. Students are held responsible for keeping up with the dates and times of scheduled activities. 
If a student misses class, an additional rehearsal/activity or concert due to an extenuating circumstance, every effort will be made to accommodate the student with a similar make up activity.

Rehearsal Etiquette 
The single most important factor in the overall success of any choir is the work it accomplishes during its rehearsals.
A positive attitude towards director and fellow choir members is vital.
Good concentration on the present has to take precedence over past classes or experiences as well as future classes or experiences.
A pencil in hand is required. Please mark your music diligently. This allows you to be a responsible choir member by keeping up with the progress of the music.

Concert Etiquette 
1. Arrive on time.
2. Stay seated except for intermission and the end of the concert.
3. If you must, exit your seat only between selections.
4. Remove restless or crying children.
5. Turn cell phones and pagers off.
6. Don't talk or whisper during a performance.
7. Don't clap until you're certain that a piece is finished.
8. Whistling, whooping or shouting is not appropriate.
9. Do not eat or drink anything in the concert space.
10. Stay until the end of the performance.

Classroom Rules 
1. Be in your assigned seat with folder and pencil when the bell rings.
2. Do not talk without permission.
3. Keep your hands, feet, books, and objects to yourself.
4. No gum, food, candy, or drinks are allowed. [This includes before and after school.]
5. No grooming in the choir room.
If a student fails to follow one or more classroom rules, the director is assuming they have temporarily
forgotten what the rules are. The director is more than willing to remind students of what they have forgotten.
Reminders will result in temporary removal from the choir room, parent conferences, detention, disciplinaryreferrals, and permanent removal from the choir program at the discretion of the director.

Sight Reading

Sight Reading is critical to musicianship.

The next few weeks in addition to the daily sight reading we do as choir you will have the opportunity to work on your sight reading INDIVIDUALLY as well.
The stronger we are individually the the stronger we are as a group.
We want each individual to be independently capable of their mastery of musical skills

DAILY ASSIGNMENT

You will create an account on www.SightReadingFactory.com
This is a prepaid account. I will text you your CODE.
The program reports your progress to me.
You are to log on and do 5 minutes a day Monday thru Friday.

Musician's Pledge

Grading

 

Each student’s six weeks grade will be averaged as follows: I.  Participation Grade                                                         50% (or 70%*) Participation is the key to our success. Each week a student may earn a participation grade of a total of 100 points. Therefore, in a six-week grading period, there will be the possibility of each student earning the total of 6 participation grades totally 100 points each. The average daily class participation grade will be around 20 points. The daily participation grade will be determined by the student’s level of participation during class (on-task behavior, posture, singing, etc.). Common deductions from the daily participation grade are:             No pencil –10 points             No music – 10 points             Incorrect Posture – 10 points Time out – 25 points Office referral – all points             II. Concert and Rehearsal Attendance                                     30% * Participation in rehearsals and performances outside the normal school hours is a necessary part of the choral curriculum. Please refer to the information in this handbook concerning excused absences for rehearsal and concerts. A total of 100 points for each concert and extra rehearsal will be awarded. An unexcused absence will result in no points earned for this category. III. Assignments and Tests                                                         20% (or 30%*) Assignments will be completed and test administered to monitor the progress in the subject. Special emphasis will be placed on monitoring individual sight-reading skills through audio taped testing in the ensemble hall. * In the case of a six-week which does not include any concerts, performances, or extra rehearsals, the six-week grade will be averaged with this formula:  Daily Participation Average 70% + Assignments and Tests Average 30% = Six-Week

Concert Etiquette

Audience etiquette or manners are based upon respect for the performers and for other listeners in the audience. They are nothing more than expressions of common courtesy. All audience members are encouraged to follow some well established standards for formal concert behavior such as:

Ø  Refrain from talking during the performance.

Ø  Remain seated for the entire concert if at all possible. If it is absolutely necessary to do so, move only between selections and exit at the nearest door.

Ø  Wait to re-enter the auditorium until the performing group is finished.

Ø  Avoid calling out individual choir member’s names.

Ø  Applause is welcomed, but whistling, cheering, and calling out individual performers names is considered inappropriate for a formal concert. A good rule of thumb is to wait until the conductor lowers his or her hands to indicate the completion of the selection or work to applaud the performance.

Ø  Please eliminate disruptions by turning off all electronic devices (such as pagers and cell phones) and removing small children who are crying, making loud noises, or speaking loudly.

Ø  Students are not permitted to leave until the end of the concert and are expected to observe all performing groups. This is part of the educational process.

DESCRIPTIONS OF STUDENT CAMPUS CHOIR AWARDS

Most Improved Awards

These awards are given to students who have demonstrated the most improvement throughout the year.

Outstanding Choir Members

These awards are presented to students from each choir who have demonstrated exemplary leadership, cooperation, and character.

Director’s Award

This award is presented to the student who, in the director’s opinion, has the most outstanding natural talent and honorable character in the department.

Attendance

As a member of the AHHS Choral Department, you are responsible for attending all rehearsals and performances of your choir. The director will make every effort to schedule rehearsals and performances causing the least amount of conflict with other activities.

All student performances are a mandatory element of the curriculum. If you are in choir only for a fine arts credit, please re-think your choice. Everyone in every choir will perform. Your grade will reflect you participation both during rehearsals and at performances. Every member of a performing ensemble is vital to the ensemble. Never think otherwise!

Types of Excused Absences

There are two excused absences from an after-school rehearsal or performance.

Personal Illness – In the event of illness, you must call the choir office – 817-814-1962– and leave a message with the director or voice mail. You may also send an email message. You must notify the director even if you miss school that day…many times students miss class for reasons other than illness. Failure to communicate will result in a lowered grade.

Family Emergency – In the event of a family emergency, if possible, please notify a director as soon as possible.

If at all possible, Prior notification by parents is required for all absences from after school rehearsals and all concerts. Upon returning to school after an excused absence, each student must present to the choral director a note, signed by a parent, stating the reason for your absence.

Employment schedule conflicts are never considered an excused absence from a rehearsal or performance. You will be provided with advance notice for all rehearsal and concerts in order to give you time to coordinate your work schedule.

Class Attendance

Unlike individual activities such as an academic class, it is impossible to makeup activities that occur in a group choral rehearsal. Unexcused absences from these rehearsals will have a negative impact on the student’s grade.

Additional Rehearsals and Activities

Students will be given advanced notice of all additional rehearsals and activities outside of the regular class period. These rehearsal and activities are course requirements and are vital to the success of the choral program. Unexcused absences from the rehearsals and activities will be treated in the same manner, as an unexcused absence from class and the absence will have a negative impact on the student’s grade.

In the event of a conflict with another scheduled school activity, it is the responsibility of the student to notify the sponsors of the activities. The sponsors, along with appropriate administrators, will determine the student’s obligation.

Concert Attendance

All concerts and performances are MANADATORY. Concerts are the ultimate evaluation of many weeks of preparation and class work. Choir concerts are designated as an extension of the classroom and are therefore considered co-curricular. All choir members are expected to be present for the entire time of each required concert. An unexcused absence from a concert will have a negative impact on the student’s grade.

Eligibility of Students in Extracurricular Activities

Eligibility of Students in Extracurricular Activities

No Pass...No Play: A student who receives, at the end of any grading period, a grade below 70 in any academic class (other than an identified advanced class) may not participate in extracurricular activities for at least three school weeks. An ineligible student may practice or rehearse, however. The student gains eligibility when the teachers and principal determine that he or she as: 1) earned a passing grade in all academic classes, AND 2) completed three school weeks of ineligibility. 

In addition to contests, any performance to which tickets to the performance are sold is considered extracurricular and subject to the No Pass, No Play rule stated above.

descriptions of Extracurricular choral contests

The University Interscholastic League (UIL) at the University of Texas at Austin sponsors two regional choral music contests.

1.    Solo and Ensemble Contest - Choral students that volunteer to enter this contest will sing a memorized vocal solo while being accompanied by a pianist. The selected music must be chosen from a Prescribed Music List (PML) published by the UIL and approved by the Director of Choral Activities. There are two classifications of vocal solos...medium difficulty (Class II) and advanced (Class I).  

2.    Concert and Sight-Reading Contest - All choral students at PHS will compete at this contest. In the concert portion of the contest, each choir will perform three prepared selections for three judges. Afterwards, they will sight-read a selection of music for three additional judges.

The Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) sponsors a series of district, region, area, and state auditions.

1.    First (All-District Choir) Audition - The top 24 students in each of the eight vocal sections (Soprano I, Soprano II, Alto I, Alto II, Tenor I, Tenor II, Bass I, and Bass II) will be chosen from the East Zone and 24 students from the West Zone. The winners will be announced at the conclusion of the contest. Those 48 students will advance to the next level…

2.    Second (All-Region Choir) Audition - The top 48 singers in each section from the last audition will compete. The top 12 students in each section at this contest earn membership into the All-Region Choir. They will receive a patch and will be required to attend the All-Region Clinic and Concert in November. They also qualify to audition for the next level…

3.    Third (Pre-Area) Choir Audition - The 12 advancing singers from each section from the previous contest will, for the first time in the audition process, audition twice...once singing the literature and a second time sight-reading a line of music.  These winners will be announced at the conclusion of the All-Region Choir Concert. The top 5 students from each section chosen will advance to the last level…

4.   Texas All-State Choir Audition - The top 5 singers from each section in Region VII will join the top 5 singers in each section from three other regions of Texas to audition for the Texas All State Choir. From the 20 students in each section, the top 4 will be named to the Texas All State Mixed Choir. The treble singers that finish in places 5-10 will be named to the All State Treble Choir. The tenor-bass singers that finish in places 5-8 will be named to the All State Men’s Choir. The Texas All-State Choirs will perform in San Antonio at the Texas Music Educators Association Convention in February.

Classroom Rules and Expectations

Classroom Rules and Expectations

Classroom rules

Be in your seat with your music, folder, and pencil when the bell rings.

Respect the rights of others in this room…including the teacher!

  consequences

(Classroom Rules)

If a student fails to follow one or more classroom rules, the director is assuming they have temporarily forgotten what the rules are. The director is more than willing to remind the students of what they have forgotten. After several reminders, however, it becomes apparent to the director that a student’s ‘I forgot…’ is really an ‘I don’t care’. Repeated reminders will be viewed as an ‘I don’t care’ and will result a visit to the vice principal, temporary removal from the room, parent conferences, disciplinary referrals, and permanent removal from the choral department at the discretion of the director.

student Expectations

Pass all of your classes every 6 weeks

Received NO disciplinary referrals from other teachers

Be at EVERY rehearsal…during and after-school Have excellent attendance.

Be at every performance.

Consequences

(Student Expectations)

As a member of the AHHS Choral Department, you represent not only your family but also your classmates, teachers, and entire school. Maintaining membership in this organization is an earned privilege and not an automatic right.

Every member of the Varsity Choir is expected to pass every class, each six weeks.
