The following handbook is provided to ensure a
successful semester for each individual student as well as
for the entire choral program. The choral program at Matthew Miller: Assistant Director
GHS provides an opportunity for singers to study and
millerme@gwd50.org
perform high caliber choral music, study proper vocal
techniques and musical skills, and share their vocal talents with our community. All students
who have a sincere interest in singing are invited to participate. Discipline, dedication and
professionalism will be encouraged in order to reach the highest degree of musical success.
These standards are carried through to rehearsals, attendance and performances. It is important to
remember that a successful performing ensemble must function as a team and that each member
must strive for his/her personal best in order to achieve the highest standard of excellence. Each
member must strive to reach their potential and never settle for second best. Parental
participation is necessary to assist in the administration of the choral program as well as to
encourage continued success of the singers.

Music Advocacy

In a 2000 survey, 73 percent of respondents agree that teens who play an instrument or sing
are less likely to have discipline problems.
-Americans Love Making Music- And Value Music Education More Highly Than Ever,
American Music Conference, 2000

Students who can perform complex rhythms can also make faster and more precise
corrections in many academic and physical situations.
-Rhythm seen as key to music’s revolutionary role in human intellectual development,
Center for Timing, Coordination, and Motor Skills, 2000

A ten- year study indicates that students who study music achieve higher test scores,
regardless of socioeconomic background.
-Dr. James Catterall, UCLA

A 1997 study of elementary students in an arts- based program concluded that students’
math test scores rose as their time in arts education classes increased.
-“Arts Exposure and Class Performance” Phi Delta Kappan, October 1998

Students who are rhythmically skilled also tend to better plan, sequence, and coordinate
actions in their daily lives.
-Cassily Column, TCAMS Professional Resource Center, 2000

In a 1999 Columbia University study, students in the arts are found to be more cooperative
with teachers and peers, more self-confident, and better able to express their ideas. These
benefits exist across socioeconomic levels.
-The Arts Education Partnership, 1999

College admissions officers continue to cite participation in music as an important factor in
making admissions decisions. They claim that music participation demonstrates time
management, creativity, expression, and open- mindedness
-Carl Hartman, “Arts May Improve Students’ Grades,” The Associated Press, October, 1999.

Rehearsal and Performance Standards
Attendance: Attendance at rehearsals and performances outside of the school day are
REQUIRED of students enrolled in the GHS choral program. After school rehearsals and
performances are for a grade: date and time are given at least two weeks in advance.
1. Class Attendance: Please keep in mind that it is impossible to make-up a missed rehearsal.
Any student who misses more than 10 minutes of each class is marked absent.
2. Tardiness: If any student is tardy during the first 10 minutes of class their tardy card will be
punched, if no tardy card - they will be issued a tardy notice. (See student handbook for
consequences). After 10 minutes, a student must have a pass from the Attendance office. An
excused tardy must be verified by a pass.
3. After school rehearsal attendance: Extra rehearsals will be scheduled close to performance
time if necessary. Prior notice will be given, and attendance is expected, and will be for a
grade.
4. Concert/ Performance attendance: All performances are mandatory. Prior notice will be
given. ALL PERFORMANCES ARE FOR A GRADE!!
Acceptable excuses for missing an afterschool rehearsal or performance:
 Missing the entire day of school the day of rehearsal or performance due to sickness.
 Death in the immediate family.
 Compromise with other SCHOOL activity (notice must be given and every means of
“working it out” exhausted before this excuse will be considered)
 Other rare circumstances deemed excusable by the director.
For all performance and after school rehearsal absences, the following procedure must be
followed by the student and parent: Failure to follow this procedure will result in a Performance
No- Show (zero). The mere filing of an absentee request does not constitute approval. This
policy is cut and dry in regard to what is excused.
 The director must be notified in advance.
 An absentee request form must be printed from the website, filled out and submitted to
the directors.
 For illness, a parental note or doctor’s excuse must be submitted.
 Follow- up is the sole responsibility of the student!
At the beginning of the semester dates are carefully set with important school activities in mind
to minimize conflicts. Should a conflict arrive, the director should be contacted immediately. It
takes dedication from every member of the ensemble to produce a quality performance.
Additional notes about performances:



Students and parents will be provided with reasonable notice of any additional rehearsals and
performances that are not already in this handbook.
All school rules apply at rehearsals and performances.
Failure to attend rehearsals including excessive class absences may result in removal from
performances at the discretion of the director.




Failure to achieve a reasonable knowledge of performance repertoire can result in removal from the
performance at the discretion of the director.
The director reserves the right to remove any student from a performance for not meeting basic
behavioral standards, including, but not limited to, in or out of school suspension from any teacher,
and breaking of classroom rules in class repeatedly.
An alternative assignment will be assigned for students not performing. This is an assignment for
Students who do not attend a performance
without prior notice without an acceptable excuse will receive a zero for a
concert grade. Note: It is not an option for a student to opt-out of the cocert.
students who have an acceptable excuse.

Work is never accepted as an excuse to miss a rehearsal or performance. Many students successfully
schedule their part-time job hours around choral events. However, sometimes a choice has to be made
between being in a choral ensemble and having a part-time job. The time to make that decision is
when you sign up for classes.
Attitude: A positive, cooperative attitude is the most important quality for a chorus member to
have. It is the basis upon which all fine things will be accomplished. It is the key to excellence.
The word carries with it the implication of punctuality, dependability, concentration,
conscientious effort, dedication, and open mindedness. This attitude must go beyond the
individual; it must become the collective spirit of the chorus.
Care of Music: School owned music is purchased by the school and Booster Club for use by
the Choral Department and is loaned to students for use while in Chorus. It is not the property of
the student and must be treated as borrowed material or as any other textbook. A fee per missing
piece of music will be assessed. Students are to use only PENCIL when writing in their music.
Instructional Materials:
1. Students are issued a folder/binder to be used as personal rehearsal folders. Each folder
should contain all current choral pieces and worksheets. Students must have a pencil in their
binder at all times.
2. Students will need to purchase: #2 pencils (mechanical pencil preferred). Optional
purchase of dry-erase fine point markers, dry erase eraser (a sock or small rag works fine).
An individual white board will be provided for class use. (If students do not have their own
marker they will have to work with pencil and paper.)
3. Students will be issued a Theory workbook that will be theirs to write in. Each student must
keep up with his or her own theory workbook and bring it to class daily. Students will also
be responsible for keeping a list of assigned vocabulary words.
Each choral rehearsal involves…preparing the mind and body, working on proper choral
breathing (breathing motion/ steady airflow), working on proper voice/tone production
(tall unified vowels, clear, crisp consonants, resonance, placement, registration), blending
voices for proper choral tone (listening and adjusting, group conformity), learning to read
music (rhythm, tonal, melodies), and learning basic musicianship skills (dictation,
composition, error detection, aural skills).

Grading Procedures
A student’s nine weeks grade will be determined using the following categories and percentages:
Rehearsal / Ensemble Skills- 40%, Written/ Oral Class work- 10%, Performances- 50%
Rehearsal /Ensemble Skills – 40%
Upon entering class daily, students can earn up to 20 points. At the end of every 5 days, these
points are added to equal up to 100 and will be called a “weekly participation grade.” At the end
of the 9 weeks, they will be averaged to equal 40% of the student’s nine weeks grade. Below is
the breakdown for earning these points on a daily basis. (Please refer to Consequences
mentioned above.)
Rehearsal Etiquette/Attitude:
5 points
Development of proper breath & vocal technique: 5 points
Participation in sight-reading/singing:
5 points
Preparation:
5 points
TOTAL:
20 points per day/ 100 points per week.
Rehearsal Etiquette/Attitude- The student is actively involved and is participating in the rehearsal. The
student does not talk excessively and does not disrupt the rehearsal process. The student employs a positive attitude
throughout the rehearsal.
Development of proper breathing & Vocal technique- The student actively seeks to employ proper
posture and alignment best suited for optimal breath support and management. The student is actively engaging the
diaphragm, concentrating on rib cage expansion for most favorable breath intake (natural and relaxed). The student
is also actively striving for the best breath that is easily controlled and energized. The student actively employs
enough space for quality resonance and projection. The tone should be free of any tension. The student also employs
tall, uniform vowels with proper breath support and energy.
Participation in sight-reading/singing- The student is actively participating in the day’s sight-singing
exercises. The student utilizes correct solfege, Curwen hand signs, and takadimi syllables.
Class preparation- The student is sitting in their assigned seat with music and pencil in hand when the tardy
bell rings. Students have all music and/or worksheets ready to go.
Being in class and at extra rehearsals is very important. Music is the only art that exists in time, and if the
student is not there to experience what we are doing as a group, it is very difficult to make up. Therefore,
if a student is more than ten minutes late to class, and the reason for missing class is EXCUSED, the
student will need to make up the number of minutes missed by completing sight-reading exercise within
one week of the class missed. This will allow the student to be eligible for the full 20 points in their daily
grade. An excused absence from class will coincide with an excused absence from school (e.g. sickness
with a note, leaving early for a school sponsored extra-curricular activity, doctor’s appointment, etc.).
Below is the maximum number of points allowed for a daily rehearsal grade correlating with the time the
student is out of the classroom. The chart provides the amount of time missed and the amount of work
required to achieve the maximum number of points
6
Written/ Oral Class work (Assignments, Quizzes, Tests, etc.) 10%
Written and singing assignments are worth 100 points each. Most of these assignments will be
announced in advance. Singing tests may consist of singing using tape recorders or live, in
quartets, octets, individual, etc. They could also include sight-reading or singing music being
prepared for the concert. Students will be graded in the following categories: pitch/rhythmic
accuracy, intonation, vocal technique, phrasing, dynamics, hand signs, posture, facial expression,
and breath support. Daily Worksheets in the area of music theory and vocal technique will be
given, and will be graded. There will also be Miscellaneous Grades such as: Returning
completed handbook, agreement, field trip forms, etc by the assigned date, using only pencil for
all classroom activities, having materials ready when class begins, and returning music
folders/binders to their assigned slot.
Performances – 50%
All performances will be worth 100 points each and will count as 50% of the student’s nineweek grade. Unexcused absences from performances may not be made up. If the excuse is
deemed ‘acceptable,’ the student must request to receive an assignment from Mrs. Jolly and the
work must be completed by a given deadline in order for credit to be given.
Attendance Policy:
Semester Classes:
1st 9-Weeks or 3rd 9 weeks– 40%
2nd 9-Weeks or 4th 9 weeks – 40%
Semester Exam- 20%
Year Long Classes:

General Information
Conferences
If a parent/guardian wishes to schedule a conference, they may contact Mrs. Jolly via email
(jollyg@gwd50.org), by office phone (864-941-5643), by cell phone (864-993-9374) or by
sending a note to school with your child. Parents may contact Mr. Miller via email
(millerme@gwd50.org). We will respond to your requests at the earliest possible convenience.
Solos
Many things go into making a good soloist: appropriate tone quality, size of voice,
expressiveness of voice and face, stage presence, intonation, the ability to ‘sell’ a song to the
audience, etc. Soloists may be chosen by the Director because the director knows that s/he can
perform the solo well and it is a good fit for them. Other times auditions will be held during
class. Solos are not chosen based on seniority. The goal is to select the soloist who is best fit for
the song. Soloist must also fulfill the same requirements as Eligibility to participate in Chorus
Trips.
Eligibility Requirements for Chorus Trips
In order to participate in the following events: State Choral Festival, Solo/Ensemble Festival,
Region Chorus, Chorus sponsored spring Trips, and All-State Chorus, a student must meet these
requirements:
A.

Not have excessive absences, including medically excused absences (if you are not here, you can’t learn music)
Musically accomplish the required selections.
Abide by the Schools Conduct and Code Book
Attend after-school rehearsals: Students will be notified in advance of all dates and times concerning these
rehearsals. In order to foster positive student growth in such a limited amount of time, it is imperative that
students who wish to perform with the choir be present at these rehearsals. When a student misses a
rehearsal that student negatively impacts the other students.
G. Attend all concerts and performances.
All State Chorus
It is the expectation that a student who auditions for a choir and is accepted attends the event.
Before auditioning, students should check their calendar and make sure that they are available to
attend the event. Dates: March 5-7, 2015. Auditions for SC All State Chorus occur in
November each year. Any student wishing to audition must meet the following qualifications:



All State Chorus is an auditioned ensemble of the strongest singers in South Carolina. Therefore,
any student who is interested in auditioning for this ensemble must be willing to practice outside
of class and work independently on their vocal line and sight-reading skills. All auditions occur
in quintets assigned by the director. The Chorus director reserves the right to deny a student the
opportunity to audition if that student is not prepared for auditions. Students who audition and
are accepted into All State MUST participate in All State Chorus

Parents’ Responsibility to the Chorus
How can parents help?

5.
Turn off all cell phones and pagers.
No talking during a performance.
Take crying children out of the performance hall.
Clap and show your appreciation after every song.
If you arrive to the concert late, or must leave the concert area during the concert, please wait
to do so between songs. Audience members walking around during a concert is very
distracting for the performers.
6. Stay around and let the students know how much you enjoyed the performance, and let them
know that you are proud of them.
7. Invite friends and family. Performing to a large crowd enhances the quality of performance
that the students present
9
Concert Attire
This school year- Chorus Students are not required to purchase
their Concert Attire. Students have an option to use an outfit on loan from the GHS
Choral Department- and pay a dry cleaning fee of $10 per semester. Students also have the
OPTION to purchase their own attire. If they choose to do so, the payment dates are listed
below. If students are planning on participating in Chorus for more than 1 school year, it is
recommended that they purchase their attire, but not required.
Payment dates: September 2nd - 1/2 payment/ October 1st - 1/2 payment
Chorus Women:
$55- NEW Laurel Formal Black Chorus dress from Southeastern Apparel
Chorus Men: $55- Black tux pants, white tux shirt, black tie, and Vest
Outfits will be will be measured and ordered during August. The students will be able to use fundraising
money to help cover the cost.
Uniform Guidelines:
1. All students are responsible for keeping their outfits clean and looking their best for ALL
performances. Shirts and dresses need to be wrinkle-free for the performances.
2. Students and parents are responsible for minor repairs on outfits if needed (ex. replacing
a button). The jackets are to be turned in as they were checked out.
3. Students and parents are responsible for hemming the black pants and dresses if
necessary.
4. Students will be responsible for providing black dress shoes (and black socks for guys)
for the concert. Sandals, clogs, and tennis shoes are not permissible.
5. Women are not allowed to wear a necklace with the formal black dress. Small stud ear rings only.
It is absolutely essential that everyone in a performing group dress and groom themselves
uniformly. Jewelry, make-up, clothing, and hairstyle need to not call attention on one
individual. If a student cuts their hair in a style that will call attention to themselves they should
not expect to sing on the concert. All hair should be styled so that it is not in your eyes.
Ultimately, the group image is more important than individuals. Students’ concert dress is a
portion of their performance grade.
10
Fundraising
The Choral Booster Club will hold several fundraisers throughout the course of the school year.
Students will be given opportunity to participate in Fundraising that can go towards Chorus
outfit, Chorus trips, Chorus fees, etc. A large portion of the money raised from fundraising will
benefit the entire choral program of GHS. Fundraising is one of the facets that help make this
program one of the strongest in the state. GHS Concerts that are not ticketed events cost $1.00
donation at the door.
Why is fundraising necessary for Chorus? The money pays for:





Choral Music (Approximately $100 per student)
Accompanists for performances
Choreographer
Professional musicians during performances
Copying





Classroom Supplies and Teaching Materials
Piano Tuning
Festivals and Trips
Guest Clinicians
… attend a booster club meeting for more information
The choral program is extremely fortunate to have supportive parents and students who
fundraise. Please observe all fundraiser turn-in dates carefully. Parent volunteers handle all
features of fundraisers, including money handling. If a student is late turning in
money/forms/orders, it puts a strain on those handling the logistics. For certain fundraisers,
orders may not be able to be met if orders are turned in late.
Student Accounts:
Through fundraising and sponsorships, student may raise points specifically to go into their
“student account”. This account may be used for chorus trips, chorus attire, or any extra chorus
fee required. *If a student graduates without using the point balance in their account, the money
will be assumed into the general chorus booster operating fund. However, if the graduating
senior has a younger sibling, the points may be transferred to their account.
Awards- Given at the end of the School year
1. Outstanding Musician -awarded to student(s), who have exhibited outstanding
achievement, attitude, work ethic, citizenship, and cooperation. Must meet the requirements
listed below. Selected by Classmates.
