Welcome to the Gregory Middle School Choral Department! The chorus offerings here are a significant part of our school curriculum and will enhance your middle school experience greatly. The chorus program is designed to help each singer improve their own vocal skills, expand their musical understanding, and increase their personal growth through working together daily and in performances.
It is the goal for each chorus student to:
1. Discover, appreciate and value his/her own talents, the talents of
others and the beauty of all types of music.
2. Improve skills in using his/her vocal instrument, learning music
theory and reading skills, and general musical knowledge.
3. Gain a desire to continually improve upon past performances.
4. Experience self-fulfillment after having communicated to others
through music.
5. Experience music in a way that will bring lasting enjoyment and as
an activity that can be continued long after leaving GMS.
In addition to all of these goals, we also love to have fun together in chorus! Of course, it is expected that every student give his or her best effort and cooperation. With all of us working together, it will be an exciting, inspiring, and rewarding year!
In chorus class, students will be given two important informational forms: a list of chorus events for the year and a uniform contract. Please review the information contained within both forms, sign as needed, and return the bottom portions by Friday, August 30. In addition, students will be required to have the following class materials in place by Thursday, August 29: a two-pocket folder, approximately 20 sheets of loose-leaf paper, and at least one sharpened #2 pencil.
Finally, if you have not already done so, please bookmark the Gregory Chorus website in your browser; this will be the main portal for disseminating important information, announcements, reminders, and class resources throughout the school year.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to meeting and working with each one of you this year!
