Chorus Information:
Fourth Grade Chorus meets every day 1 from 9:20- 9:50. Students in chorus DO NOT miss any instructional time.
Fourth grade chorus helps students develop vocal technique and music literacy skills while working cooperatively in a large ensemble setting. Students also learn a wide variety of choral repertoire in varying languages.
Concerts:
The Fourth Grade Chorus has two formal concerts each year:
- December 15, 2018: Winter Chorus Concert (chorus only) – 7:00pm - Big Flats Elementary Gymnasium

Concert Dress Code:
Students are required to wear concert black and white at formal concerts (black bottoms, white top)
- Black bottoms (dress pants, skirts, dresses) Please no jeans or athletic shorts
- White tops (polo shirt, button down shirt, cardigan sweater, blouse, etc.)

**For non-formal chorus events, students should dress in nice clothes, such as a pair of khaki pants and polo or skirt and blouse. We would like our students to look as nice as they sound! Please no athletic wear or flip-flops.
Chorus Community Service Project:
Each year for our winter chorus concert, the Big Flats Elementary Chorus completes a season of giving community service project. Students brainstorm a list of local organization or charities that they would like to assist during the holiday season and vote on a final selection. In the past the fourth grade chorus has served the Toy’s for Tots program, the Elmira Food Bank, the Back Pack Program, and the Horseheads Animal Shelter.
