Clover High School Choraliers 2012-2013 Handbook

Clover High School Choraliers2012-2013 HandbookI. Rehearsals and PerformancesChoral music is a team effort and will be successful only when each member is present forall rehearsals. For this reason, attendance at night rehearsals and performances is mandatory.The Choraliers rehearse once a week on Monday evenings with occasional extrarehearsals as needed for major performances including two Saturdays near the ChristmasConcert and Spring Show. A fall and spring retreat are also scheduled.Reasons for Rehearsals1. Outside-of-school rehearsals and retreats are the only opportunities to workwith choreographers and/or side musicians.2. Much of the in-school class time is spent on solemnization, a technique usedin teaching students to read music. The night rehearsals are devotedentirely to repertoire.3. It simply takes many hours of rehearsal time to produce a high quality musicalevent.Acceptable Excuses for Absence from a Rehearsal1. Sickness (student must bring a signed note to school the next day)2. Death in the family3. Pre-approved compromise with other school activitiesClover High School has adopted a clearly defined policy regarding conflicts betweenschool activities. This policy can be found in the Clover High School students’ handbook.It is the responsibility of the student to inform teachers, coaches, and directors if suchconflicts arise. The student must inform the director in advance of any conflict so appropriateaction may be taken for resolution. It is our intent to never put a student inthe middle of scheduling conflicts between activities at Clover High School.ConflictsA student may not be allowed to perform in a concert if he or she misses one of the finalfive rehearsals or any one of the stage rehearsals before that concert, no matter whatthe reason for the absence. The entire group cannot pay the penalty for the unfortunatecircumstances of one individual. Students with more than one unexcused absencefor rehearsals will be prohibited from performing with the ensemble until further noticefrom the director.

Conflict BoxIn the event of a school related conflict with a Choralier rehearsal, the student mustplace a note in the conflict box prior to the missed rehearsal. The conflict box is locatedin the lobby.Note: If a student becomes ill during a rehearsal, he or she needs to inform the directoror the Booster Club Representative before leaving.SAT and ACT Entrance ExamsBefore registering to take either the SAT or ACT college entrance exam, students needto double check the Choralier calendar to ensure there is no conflict. The SAT dates areposted in our calendar. The only SAT dates conflicting with our calendar are December 1and March 9. Do NOT schedule your SAT for December 1; this is a major blocking rehearsal.March 9 is the final day of All State Chorus Weekend; if you are chosen for AllState, do NOT schedule your SAT for March 9. All other SAT dates are clear for testing:October 6, November 3, December 1, January 26, May 4, or June 1. ACT dates areall clear for testing: September 8, October 27, December 8, February 9, or April 13.ConferencesDuring classes and rehearsals, the focus must be on the entire group. Any individual commentor conflict concerning rehearsals should be discussed with the director in private.During class or one hour prior to a rehearsal is not an appropriate time to have a discussionwith the director about a personal concern. If you require communication with anyof the directors, please call CHS (810-8200) during normal business hours and make anappointment.Rehearsal PreparationAn important part of the success of any group is the preparation and focus of its leaders.For this reason, the directors and choreographer will meet together for one hour prior toevening and weekend rehearsals. During this time, the directors will be unavailable forstudent or parent conferences. We appreciate your cooperation as we strive to make ourrehearsal the most productive use of the students’ and the directors’ time.Visitors at RehearsalsRehearsals are not open to guests of Choralier members; however, parents arewelcome to attend all rehearsals. We would prefer that parents choose classroomrehearsals to observe rather than dress rehearsals. If parents feel it necessaryto attend a dress

ehearsal, they will be required to sit in the balcony. The mezzanine and orchestra sectionswill be used for staff in executing direction and musical notes. Parent visitorsshould inform the director or the booster club representative before attending any rehearsal.AttitudesA positive attitude combined with hard work makes a rehearsal successful. It is imperativethat students come to rehearsals focused and ready to work. Together we can makethis the strongest year ever for choral arts at Clover High School.SolosMany qualities make a good soloist: appropriate tone quality, size of voice, intonation, expressivenessof voice and face, stage presence, the ability to sell a song to the audience,etc. Soloists are selected one of two ways. For some solos, the director will simply assignthe solo to a student after having heard the student sing the part numerous times inclass or rehearsal and determines the voice and the solo are appropriate matches showcasingboth the student and the music. Other solos will be determined through an openaudition process.II. Formal Performance AttireWe are very fortunate to have our formal attire furnished by the school district. Mostprograms in the state fundraise or charge each student for the required outfit. In aneffort to make our garments last as long as possible, the following guidelines apply:1. Each student will be issued long sleeved white shirts and a pair of pants before thefirst performance.2. Each student will be required to purchase an informal shirt to be worn for certainperformances and trips that do not require our formal attire.3. All students new to the Choraliers will need to purchase performance shoes at acost of $22 per pair. These shoes can be worn for subsequent years.4. The outfits, or any parts thereof, are to be worn only for Clover choral events.5. Replacement fees for uniforms damaged or not returned will be:Jacket: $65Pants: $35Shirt: $206. Shirts and pants should be washed after each wearing. Shirts returned extremelysoiled will be discarded and the $20 replacement fee will be assessed.

7. Any student who leaves or is dismissed from the Choral Program must turn in his or heroutfit immediately to the main office. All school records will be held until the uniformis returned or the replacement fee is collected.8. If a student has a problem with a uniform, i.e. needs a different size, etc., he or she needsto contact the Booster Club Board member in charge of uniforms. Her name andphone number will be posted on the wardrobe room door and is listed on page 18 ofthis handbook. Please make every effort to make us aware of a problem at leastone week before a performance.9. All Choralier outfits will be returned at a designated time at the end of the school year.At that time, students must give their uniforms directly to either a choral programemployee or a Booster Club Board member.It is absolutely essential that all students in performing groups dress and groom themselves uniformly.Jewelry, makeup, clothing, and hairstyles should not call attention to the individual. Allstudents will wear their hair pinned back off the face during performances. Students may notwear jewelry during performances. Small stud earrings are the only acceptable jewelry for females.III. Program ExpensesMost of our financial needs are met by the Clover School District and through fundraisingby our dedicated parents and Booster Club. (Over 50% of our retreat costs are paid from theGeneral Fund of the Booster Club.) Students are required to pay the following amounts:$80 Due on September 17, 2012$80 Due on January 18, 2013These payments subsidize the retreat costs and also pay for uniform cleaning and maintenance,informal t-shirts, and the costs of the river party. Additionally, new Choraliers will be requiredto purchase Bando shoes for $22. These shoes are to be worn with the formal concert attireand may be worn subsequent years.Parents may receive a $10 discount by paying their student’s annual fees in one lump sum by Friday,September 7th. In order to qualify for the discount, the $150 payment must either be inMrs. Simril’s box in the chorus building by the end of the school day or postmarked by September7 th and mailed to the Choral Booster Club, P.O.Box 836, Clover, SC, 29710. Otherwise, thetwo $80 payments are due as indicated above.

IV. FundraisingWe are fortunate in the Clover Schools to have all our curricular needs provided by theschool district. All funds generated through Booster Club Fundraising go to the extracurricularactivities of the program. At the beginning of the summer, The Booster ClubBoard of Directors determines the anticipated cost for these extracurricular activitiesand creates a budget which is funded through Booster Club memberships and severalmoney raising events for the general fund. Our Booster Club also manages five fundraisersdesigned to allow students to raise the entire cost for the Spring Competition Trip.This year, the estimated cost for the Spring Tour is $500 per student.Each Choralier will be issued a calendar of events specifying the start and finish dates ofevery sale. If a student falls short of goals set for each fundraiser, he or she will beresponsible for paying the balance by the deadline set in the calendar. Students who paymoney to make up for a deficit in a given sale can be reimbursed at the end of the year ifthey exceed the total $500 requirement. This request must be made in writing to theBooster Club. Money will not be refunded if a student discontinues participation in theChoraliers for personal reasons or is asked to leave for disciplinary infractions. Onlymoney paid directly by a student or parent, not money earned through Choralier fundraisers,will be available for refund.The Choralier fundraising agenda for the 2012-13 season will include the following:AugustSept – OctOctoberNovemberJanuaryMarchInnisbrook WrapsSpaghetti SupperPizza/Cheesecake/Cookie Dough SaleFruit SaleCountry BreakfastSpring FundraiserMonetary ResponsibilityParent volunteers will collect money for all fundraisers and activities during Monday nightrehearsals. It is the responsibility of each student to meet deadlines for fundraisersand other orders of business. Booster Club volunteers take time from work and eveningsfrom family to be available for processing money and information. Because timeliness isso important during these events, a fine may be assessed for missed deadlines. A student’sprofit margin may be decreased by $10 per day until the appropriate paperwork issubmitted.

ReceiptsStudents will be issued receipts each time they turn in money at Monday night rehearsals.It is imperative that students retain their receipts.V. Independent Vocal InstructionBased on a skills analysis, students will be placed in small groups for instruction. Thesegroups will meet before, during, or after school. There will be three types of instructionalteams: Sight-Reading Teams, Voice Methods Classes, and Private Lessons.Extra staff is needed to implement this program, the cost of which is covered by theBooster Club.VI. TravelingAn exciting part of participating in a group such as ours is to take advantage of the invitationsto perform outside of the Clover community and to compete against other wellrecognizedperforming ensembles.The Spring Performance Tour has been a tradition for the choral program at Clover HighSchool for many years. When we commit to compete as a group, it is absolutely necessaryto have 100 percent participation. For this reason, all performance trips, competitiontrips, and work retreats are mandatory.Any prescription medicine needed by a student must be turned in to a staff member inthe original container accompanied by a note from a parent prior to departure. Staffmembers or chaperones will not distribute over-the-counter medicine to students.On page 19 you will find a copy of our student medical form. Each student is required tohave a completed medical form on file in the chorus building prior to traveling with thegroup. These forms will be distributed at start of the school year.VII. Academic ResponsibilityIt is the responsibility of each student to remain in good overall academic standing in orderto travel with the group. Members of the Clover High School Choraliers are expectedto maintain a C or above in every class. The directors will run periodic grade reports.If students fall below a C average, tutoring will be available from other Choraliers.If satisfactory progress is not made, the academic teacher may determine the student isineligible for travel with the Choraliers.

VIII. GradesDuring the semester, each student will receive at least 5 major grades and 9 minorgrades. The minor grades will be weekly grades based on the following criteria: posture,vowels, eye contact, energy, and pencils.

South Carolina All-State ChorusBeing selected for South Carolina’s All-State Program is an honor students will carry withthem for a lifetime.

XV. College Reference Information for SeniorsAs you plan your college experience, consider your involvement in choral activities. TheChoraliers’ curriculum is a high-level college preparatory program. Choralier graduatesare well poised to enjoy successful college choral experiences. Many alumni have continuedto sing during college and beyond.College music departments offer scholarships to both music major and non-major vocalstudents. The choral arts staff encourages you to take advantage of these opportunities.Students who wish to continue singing in any capacity in college should take these stepsto ensure scholarship eligibility.1. Inform Dr. Cornwell immediately upon receiving an acceptance letter from a college oruniversity. Ask her to communicate with the college vocal music department.2. Dr. Cornwell will mail an introductory package to the head of the college’s vocal musicdepartment on your behalf, which will include a personal reference letter, asummary of the CHS choral arts program, and a Choralier’s CD.3. You are strongly encouraged to follow up Dr. Cornwell’s package with an email or phonecontact to the college vocal department head, indicating your interest.4. The college vocal department head will give you procedures to follow for music scholarshipeligibility. These may include an audition or an interview.5. You may ask Dr. Cornwell to send reference packages to more than one college.Keys to remember:1. Availability. Music departments have scholarship resources to award to both musicmajors and non-majors. Do not let your choice of major deter you from applyingfor a music scholarship if you would like to continue singing in college.2. Non-music majors. Non-majors who would like to continue singing in college needto be pro-active in communicating interest with vocal department heads. Collegemusic departments need good musicians to make their programs successful! Theycannot know your interest or the scope of your experience unless you tell them.3. Music majors. Students who plan to major in music should speak with Dr.Cornwell to plan a focused college application strategy.4. Timing. Music departments have a specific amount of scholarship resources theycan award in a given year. You may be a stronger scholarship candidate than anotherstudent, but if you are slow to indicate interest, you may lose an importantrecruiting slot. As soon as you receive an acceptance letter from a college oruniversity, talk with Dr. Cornwell to initiate the potential award process.
