CHOIR HANDBOOK
All choir students received a copy of this year's Choir Handbook.  If you didn't receive a copy or would like another CLICK HERE.

Over the next several updates we will review a few important points addressed in the choir handbook:
Choir is a performance based class--choir grades are based on a student's participation and engagement in daily rehearsals and scheduled performances/events.  Events on the choir schedule are required unless otherwise specified   They are our equivalent to tests and quizzes.  Conflicts will arise, however, they must be communicated as soon as possible.

13.14 CHOIR CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Our current Choir Calendar of Events was passed out in class and is also on the last page of the Choir Handbook.  Please note that all dates are subject to change.  Should a date change take place we will send notification via the Hawk Choir eNote.  Our most current calendar is housed on the choir website: www.oechoirs.org.
