| Why should I join choir? Studies show that students who take choir excel better in their studies and develop the following significant life skills: Has the department won any awards or honors? Please visit our Awards/Honors section the website for more information. Can anyone join choir? Anyone can join choir. No audition is required. On the choice card, when you register for classes, just choose either Men's Choir or Treble Choir. To be placed into Lee Singers, Chorale, or Origin, an audition is required with either Mrs. Edwards or Ms. Blackstone. What supplies do we need to buy? Students must bring their binder, a pencil, and their music daily to class. At the beginning of the year, students receive a binder and concert music, which is furnished at no expense to the student (some music for individual competition must be purchased by the student, i.e. Pre-Area/Area and UIL Solo and Ensemble). Music is expensive and students are expected to take care of it. Music is to be kept in the choir folder at all times. If music is lost or damaged, the student will pay for the replacement of the music. Music left out of the folder or slot and not in its place in the choir room is considered "lost". Are there any fees to join Choir? The assessment covers the following costs: use, maintenance, and cleaning of concert formal wear, Broadway Revue costuming, madrigal costumes, Spring Trip, travel, audition cd's, receptions, t-shirts, and additional music, office supplies, and accompanist & clinician fees not provided by the school budget. Because the Booster Club is a non-profit organization, the assessment is non-refundable. The assessments are as follows: What's not covered by the assessment amount listed above? -Freshman Character Shoes-Ladies-$38.00 Black Dress Shoes-Men Black long-sleeved turtleneck-Both Ladies and Men -Senior High Character Shoes-Ladies-$38.00 Black Dress Shoes-Men Black long-sleeved turtleneck-Lee Singers, Men, and Treble.

Almost every student who desires to join our department can work out their schedule to take vocal music and graduate with the Recommended Plan.

Students learn great music, sight-reading skills, music theory, music history, and develop psychomotor, visual, and aural skills. Students also learn important life skills such as self-confidence, teamwork, independence, responsibility, and respect. How long is the class? Choir is a two-term class. Students who sing in Chorale rehearse once or twice a week after school (depending on the time of the year). What kinds of people are in the LHS Choirs? We have a diverse group of students: athletes, band members, special education students, honors students, and dance team members. Choir students are involved in many activities and groups on campus. |
| -A positive self-image and a feeling of confidence and self-worth. -A foundation of music, so the student can have an aesthetic and knowledgable appreciation of music. -An understanding, respect, and love for music. -Self-discipline, self-control, and a sense of responsibility. -A better understanding of the intrinsic relationship between work and reward/success. Best of all, the department gives a "sense of belonging" to a peer group dedicated to excellence throughout their high school years. |
