Welcome to the PS46Q Jr. & Sr. Chorus
About the Chorus Experience:
All 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students are welcome to become a part of the chorus. There is an audition requirement.
It does not cost money to join. Students who decide to join chorus must make a full commitment to the ensemble. This means they should attend rehearsals each week (Mondays-Jr. Chorus & Tuesdays-Sr. Chorus at 8:15-8:45 am) and bring their best behavior and a positive attitude to class.
The audition process:
Audition will be limited to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students.
Students interested in the program will fill out a ”Chorus audition Form” and return it to Mrs. Kang by Sept. 12th.
If students do not submit a form, they will not be allowed to audition.
Students auditioning will sing in front of their peers. Each student will sing for about 1 minute/or 1 verse and 1 refrain of a song of their choosing, a cappella.)
Once all auditions have been completed, Mrs. Kang will notify parents of their child’s status. Notification will be sent through a hard copy letter sent home with the student’s regular classroom materials. Check the folders and backpacks.
Please note there will be 2 forms of status: “Chorus Members” or “Was Not Selected This Year”
“Chorus Members” students will begin rehearsals when chorus starts, September, 23rd.
