Lettering

Students who wish to letter in choir must meet the lettering requirements. All students who participate in the vocal program have the opportunity to earn a Choir Letter and Pin or Bar. Students must do more than just the class requirements in order to earn a letter or a bar. The specific details are outlined below.

• Students must be in choir for a total of two years or four semesters before they are eligible to earn a letter. (A minimum of two of those semesters must be in a CSH Choir. Up to two semesters may count from choir in 7th grade or higher from another vocal music school program.)

• Students must “perform” in all required concerts, festivals, and any extra required rehearsals.

• A student must receive an “A” or a “B” for each grading period and the semester grade in each choir during the entire year. If you should receive lower than a “B” during any grading period, you are no longer eligible to letter during that year.

• A student or family member of the student must participate in at least one fundraising project for the choir.

• Each student must work a minimum of one “sign up committee” such as stage clean up, stage set up, publicity, etc. per semester.

• Attendance of at least one CSH Performing Arts Department Performance as an audience member that is not a choir event.

• Students must complete and turn in this Choir Letter Application by the due date listed on the Choir Calendar and have all of the appropriate signatures.

• Students must earn 25 lettering points during the school year in which they are trying to earn the letter/pin or a bar. (These points do not carry over from year to year.) Points can be earned by doing a variety of extra activities.

If a student is in more than one choir, he/she may try to earn a letter in each individual choir, but the points earned in each choir will not be combined.

After the designated points have been earned and a letter has been received, the student will receive a BAR for every year in which they earn a letter thereafter. The lettering requirements for 3rd and 4th year letters (bars) are the same as listed above.

Students must be responsible to keep track of their own lettering points and getting those points verified with a signature by Mrs. Hubbard, Mr. Jackson or the adult in charge of that activity.

PLEASE NOTE: If a student volunteers for a committee or a job or makes a commitment to an extra performing activity which can earn him/her lettering points and fails to follow through with that task or performance, that student will receive a deduction of lettering points for how many points would have been earned if the task or performance were completed.
