Chorus 🎶
It is not too late to join Chorus! Chorus is for any 4th and 5th grade students who want to practice singing different songs than we do in normal music class and perform for events like Winter Wonderland, International night, and others. We meet before school every Thursday morning, from 7:15-8:00. Students must have transportation that allows them to arrive by 7:15am to be in chorus. There is a registration fee of $16.00, which includes this year's chorus shirt, any snacks for after school rehearsals, and also goes towards any music purchased for performance. Registration is done through MyPayments Plus and will open on Friday, September 20. The first chorus practice will be Thursday, September 5. All students must register before attending the morning practices.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Deal at Amy.Deal@gcpsk12.org
