**Description:** J-M Chorus is a selective performance ensemble. Students will be involved with developing their singing voice along with learning musical concepts and how to operate in a rehearsal-style setting.

Students will be graded based upon their participation, behavior, and cooperation. Students are awarded a possible two points per day as a daily grade. Daily grades are recorded in Classroll as weekly grades and will be awarded out of ten possible points for each week (two points per day).
 * Requirements:**

The annual holiday concert for this coming school year is scheduled for **Thursday, December 2, 2010 at 7:00 p.m** in the Stanley Fowler Auditorium. The annual spring concert is scheduled for **Thursday, May 19, 2011 at 7:00 p.m** in the Stanley Fowler Auditorium. Attendance at these two events is MANDATORY. The holiday and spring concerts are graded as the midterm and final for this class. If, for any reason, a student is unable to attent either concert, the student will be required to make up the grade by singing the assigned music for that concert individually for Mrs. Svensson. Failure to do so will result in a zero on their midterm or final, depending on which concert was missed. Other performances include but are not limited to: Veteran's Day, Holiday Caroling, Spring Competitions, Commencement, and various other music festivals held throughout the school year. Participation in these activities will be based on the student's status and attendance in other classes. If a student is falling behing in a certain class, they will not be permitted to participate in the extra activities and performances that take place during school hours.
