The Northern Stars Crew is a very important part of this group. In addition to helping out with all shows and rehearsals, they travel with the show choir on all trips and to all events. Being a crew member is fun, but involves lifting and setting up of large equipment. You should be in good physical shape to be a crew member, and you must be enrolled in the class. If you do not make the group as a singer, are you willing to be a crew member? (circle one)

Statement of Commitment

I, ______, desire to be a member of the 2013-2014 Sheridan Northern Stars Show Choir. I understand that membership in Northern Stars requires that I maintain a good GPA and a good attendance record at school. Students must have a minimum GPA of 1.0 per grading period AND must have received passing grades in a minimum of 5 credit hours per grading period. I understand that I must attend ALL rehearsals and performances, both in and out of school, and that missing these will negatively impact my grade. I understand that if I miss 3 or more rehearsals that are unexcused then I will no longer be a member of the ensemble. I understand that I will have to pay for my costumes, as well as any trips the group may take, and that this is a financial commitment I must honor. Finally, I understand that, as a member of Northern Stars, I will be expected to always be a good representative of Sheridan High School and of the SHS Music Department, as my behavior and attitude reflects not only on me, but on those whom I represent.

The show choir begins rehearsing in July/August before school starts (Show Choir Camp) and then resumes rehearsals during school. Afterschool rehearsals begin in November on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:45-5pm. There will also be one Saturday rehearsal a month during the months of August, September, October, November and January. All competitions are on Saturdays and take the entire Saturday and are held during the months of January-March. All competitions are mandatory. There is a financial commitment to be in Show Choir for costumes and supplies estimated around $200-$350 for females and $100-$250 for males.

I have read and understand this commitment statement.
