Our choral ensembles are essentially music teams. The actions of any individual can either help or hinder the entire ensemble in both rehearsal and performance. Self-discipline is not optional; it is required. Repeat offenders will be removed from the class at the director's discretion.

A system of checks and warnings will be used to promote proper ensemble behavior. Students will receive a check mark for any infraction in the following areas:

• Be on time to all rehearsals and performances. (To be early is to be on time; to be on time is to be late.)

• Be attentive and respectful at all rehearsals.

• Be prepared for all rehearsals by having your music, textbook, and pencil with you.

• Take care of all choir financial obligations in a timely manner and with proper procedure, (i.e., fund raising deadlines.)

• Act appropriately and remain in assigned seats during rehearsal unless otherwise noted.

• Participate in all singing activities.

• Represent our choir well by embracing the highest standards of behavior and ethics.

• Keep the choir room clean and neat at all times. Keep folders in their place, pick up after yourself, and be respectful of all who use this room. NO FOOD OR GUM IS ALLOWED IN THE CHOIR ROOM. THE ONLY TYPE OF DRINK ALLOWED IS WATER.

• Respect the Jarrell Choir uniform. Wear if with pride and treat it with care.
