JCES CHOIR CONTRACT AND SIGN-UP FORM
(Please read with your child, fill out the form and TURN IT IN THE PTO MAILBOX “CARE OF MR. PARKER” by September
12.)
Attendance Policy
Attendance will be taken at every rehearsal. Because our choir will be performing in front of people, consistent attendance is
vital to the success of our students.
1.
2.
3.
2 unexcused absences will be allowed per half year.
An absence may be excused if a student is sick from school on a choir day. In order for the choir absence to be excused, a
note, or email, must be sent in to the director regarding the absence from school.
If a student exceeds 2 absences, a phone conference may occur to discuss the future membership of the choir member. After
the conference, the director will choose in what capacity the member may continue.
Performance Attendance
Attendance at the performances is mandatory. We depend on all members, and when a choir member doesn’t come to the
performance, the choir is very negatively affected.
Behavior Expectations
1. I will have strong attendance both at rehearsals and performances.
2. I will participate to the best of my ability.
3. I will be responsible for my actions.
4. I will represent my school, my family and myself with courteous behavior.
5. I will use a strong and musical voice, and pay careful attention to my learning and the learning of others.
Choir Fee
1. W are asking for an entrance fee of $20.00. This covers the cost of music, an accompanist and a choir T-Shirt.
2. Please write a check in the amount of $20.00 and make it out the “JCE PTO”.
3. Please return the check along with this signed contract. Thank you.
I have read, understand and agree with the terms of the contract. At all times I will do my best to honor this contract and be
a positive influence on the choir and it’s members.
