  Sugar Hill Elementary Chorus is a club for 4th and 5th Graders who LOVE to sing and are willing to work hard as a team! The chorus will meet on Wednesday mornings, 7:00-8:00 am, from September 25th through March 12th.
  
  
• Each week in chorus rehearsal, students will: 
  • Work on developing a healthy vocal tone 
  • Work collectively to develop part-singing skills
  • Learn and refine new music to perform at our concert 
  • Apply and extend our music literacy skills 
  • Build a sense of community as we work together as a team 

• Singing in a chorus is just like a team sport - it requires every team member to try their best to help the group succeed. Students who sign up for the chorus should be willing to attend rehearsals, treat others with respect, and try their best throughout the rehearsals. If that sounds like you, and if you really enjoy singing, consider joining Sugar Hill Elementary Chorus! 
•  
• We will conclude the chorus season with an evening concert in March. Exact details about the concert will be communicated to parents by the first rehearsal on September 25th. The $25 fee includes the cost of a T-shirt, and the remaining funds will be used to purchase choral music, compensation for our collaborative pianist, and an end-of-season treat.
