Choir Performance Commentary
Each class has been assigned a choir performance video to watch on youtube. After watching the video, there is a google form to complete that asks you to write 3-4 sentences about what you hear in the performance. This should not be simply whether you like it or dislike it, but musical aspects of the performance that you notice whether good or bad.

A Message from the Directors
Hello Legacy Choir Family!
I hope that this email finds you all well, safe, and healthy.
This is the final week of the 5th grading period, and teachers are being instructed that we must give numeric grades for every student. That being said, I want to make sure everyone is clear about the assignments that are required for choir. Each of the assignments is a grade and should be completed. All assignments are due Thursday, April 9 and can be accessed through Google Classroom at the following link:
Students should login with their MISD email and password. There are three assignments that all choir students need to complete.

3. Choir Performance Commentary
Each class has been assigned a choir performance video to watch on youtube. After watching the video, there is a google form to complete that asks you to write 3-4 sentences about what you hear in the performance. This should not be simply whether you like it or dislike it, but musical aspects of the performance that you notice whether good or bad.
We have decided not to take a grade for the hand wash videos because quite a few students had technical difficulty in uploading the video. However, we thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening, and we hope you students did too!
As always, if you have any questions about anything, please reach out to Ms. Lafferty or me. We are here to help in any way that we can.
As always, stay safe, wash your hands, and keep singing!
Mr. Powell
