West Lafayette Choirs Update
Your Voice Matters--April 5, 2016
Junior High Contest April 9
Click HERE to help with the day as a volunteer or through donations. 24 Choirs will be singing at our school that day, and we want to be sure that this is as positive experience for them as possible. High School parents are encouraged to sign up in the afternoon so that junior high parents can watch their students' performances.
Notes: Announcers get to watch all groups perform during their shift.
Hall/Gym supervision is a stationary job--you are not required to walk or stand for long periods of time.

What to expect at contest? (JH and HS)
1. These are required performances that assess our year's work. Similar to standardized testing or tournaments for sports, much of our work culminates with ISSMA contest performances.
2. Audiences are welcome! Just like you would come to support students at performances and athletes at sporting events, audiences are welcome. In fact, it is more comfortable for students to perform for supporters rather than an empty room. Tasteful applause is allowed and encouraged after each song. With the exception of Chorale, all performances are in town.
3. Unless leaving immediately for a conflicting event (previously communicated), students are expected to be present while results are presented.
All times are approximate on contest schedules. Please plan to arrive early for performances and be flexible if the choir is running late.
Chorale Contest Dates
Chorale will perform at Ben Davis High School on April 30 with the potential of performing at State Finals on May 7. Please note that while performance times are not available, both qualifications and finals are REQUIRED performances for Chorale--only medical emergencies will be considered for excused absences.
