White Oak 6th Grade Choir

The White Oak 6th grade choir is a performing group. During a 9 week time frame, the choir will learn either a concert of songs or a mini-musical and present it to the community.

The 6th graders are divided into three groups that rotate through choir for 9 weeks and study hall for 18 weeks. During the last 9 weeks of the school year, students may choose to be in choir and perform again.

Students will learn how to sing properly and how to develop their singing ability, as well as sight reading and ear training.
Performances will be held at the end of each 9 weeks.

Grades
Choir grades will consist of 9 or 10 grades per 9 weeks. The grades are then averaged together. Tests and Concert Participation will be 60 percent of the choir grade. Other quizzes and weekly participation grades will average as 40 percent of the choir grade.
Outfits
There is no specific 6th grade choir outfit. Depending upon the concert or musical, outfits will coordinate with the particular performance.
Absences
Please let Mrs. Kessler know if you will not be able to attend the performance when the date is announced. A permission slip will be sent. Please send Mrs. Kessler a text or call her if you are sick and cannot attend.
