Choirs from Dartmouth Schools will join together for an evening of song the third week of March. On Wednesday, March 23rd, at 7pm, there will be a choral night at Prince Andrew High School, where the Brookhouse Choir will perform two musical selections.  This will be the second of three nights of choral concerts with many schools from Dartmouth participating.  Choir members are asked to wear their choir uniform (white shirts/ tops and black/dark pants or skirts) in order to perform and arrive at 6:15 for a warm-up.  All choir members are also asked to please bring coats or jackets into the auditorium and to place them on their seats or with parents, as we do not have access to a classroom.  Students will be directed to sit in a specific area of the auditorium upon arrival.  We will be rehearsing the finale piece with the combined choirs at 6:30 pm.  Students are asked to please be on time at 6:15 as there will be much to do (organize seating, warm-up etc.) between 6:15 and 6:30pm.  Admission is $2 for adults and children are free, with the proceeds being used to purchase new music. 

Hope to see you there!

The Brookhouse Choir will be singing on Wednesday morning, November 10^th , 10:30 am at Brookhouse School for the Remembrance Day Assembly and on the evening of December 16th at Prince Andrew for the Christmas concert. Choir members should be in proper choir uniform (white shirt/ blouse and dark pants/skirt) in order to perform. The one exception is that choir members who belong to a service organization such as Scouts, Brownies, Girl Guides, Cubs etc. have the option of wearing their uniform for the Remembrance Day Assembly.

 Dear Parents,

 There will be choir for all Grade 3, 4, 5, and 6 students who wish to join starting on Wednesday, October 13^th from 2:30-3:10. Please take note that there will be no crossing guard when the children leave from choir rehearsal.

 In order for choir to be successful certain rules are necessary.  These rules are noted below:

           1) Choir members should be actively participating (singing) .

           2) Choir members should not be disruptive (excessive noise) during rehearsals.

           3) Choir members should always be considerate of others.

           4) Choir members are expected to keep up with their schoolwork.

           5) Choir members are expected to be at choir except on excused days (illness).

           6) Choir members are expected to be in proper choir attire for performances          

 It is important for choir members to participate, be mannerly, and to follow the choir rules.  This makes for an enjoyable experience for all choir members.  During performances, choir members should wear the appropriate choir attire in order to perform, which is black/dark pants/ skirt and a white shirt/ blouse with sleeves.

 This year, there will be two warnings issued for inappropriate behaviour during choir.  The first warning will be verbal and the second warning will be in the form of a written note sent home, which will state that the student did not follow the choir rules.  This note will also say that the choir member understands if they display inappropriate behaviour again in the same month, they will no longer be able to attend as a choir member.

Please read and discuss the choir rules thoroughly with your child before signing the permission form.   Permission forms should be returned no later than October 8th.  If there are any questions, please don’t hesitate to phone me at Brookhouse School.

Sincerely,

B. Mathieu
