Large Group Performance Evaluation
- This is a required trip for 7th and 8th Grade Chorus students.
- The trip is Wednesday, March 21st at Jackson County Comprehensive High School from approximately 8 AM to 1 PM. 7th Grade Chorus will perform at 9:15 AM, and 8th Grade Chorus will perform at 10:15 AM. I will send a detailed itinerary closer to the date of the trip.
- Students will likely miss most of the school day, but as a "field trip absence", it will not count against their attendance record.
- Bus transportation will be provided.
- Any student who does not consistently follow the participation and behavior expectations of the class will be given an alternate assignment instead of participating in the trip.
- We will need plenty of parent chaperones for this trip. Please let me know if you are interested in chaperoning by clicking the link below! This is not a commitment; it just lets me know who to contact.
7th Grade National Anthem Performance at the Gwinnett Stripers
If you plan to attend the game with your student, please complete the online form below to reserve the correct number of seats for your family (your best estimate). You do not need to include your Chorus student in the count. If your student is in both Band and Chorus, you only need to complete the reservation one time. Each family ticket will cost $5 (and includes a meal), but please do not submit payment yet. Please complete the form by Friday, January 26th.

Chorus Shout-outs!
- Congratulations to all the students who made the busy month of December such a success for our Chorus! BCMS Chorus students accomplished so much: caroling at Christmas in Statham, a National Anthem performance at a UGA GymDawgs meet, a wonderful Winter Concert and more.
- Many thanks to Chorus mom and photographer Mrs. Beth Clement for capturing these moments in the pictures here! (EHC Photography) Stay tuned for more photos, and if you have any photos of your students at Chorus events, I would love for you to send them my way!
- In December, we also held the first-ever Sight-reading Trashketball Tournament to help prepare students for sight-reading at LGPE and spice it up with a bit of competition. Congratulations to 8th Grade Part 1, 7th Grade Part 3 and 6A Chorus for winning the gold! They will receive a pizza/ sweet treat reward in the coming weeks.
