General Expectations for Members of the 2024-2025 Cast of Shades of Blue

  • Shades of Blue every Monday and Thursday before school from 6:00 8:15AM. Rehearsals are 2.5 hours and are schedule in accordance with state PE requirements for this course. Additionally we will practice 2 Monday evenings a month from 4:15-5:30.
  • During the spring semester, it may be necessary to adjust the rehearsal schedule to accommodate UIL rehearsals and travel opportunities for students in our program.
  • Any adjustments to the schedule will be published two weeks in advance in order to provide students with the time to arrange their schedules to attend. 
  • All students selected for next year’s squad are expected to make all necessary arrangements to attend all rehearsals. Official attendance will be taken at each rehearsal and tracked through our skyward attendance system. Consistent late arrivals/absences from rehearsals will impact student’s ability to receive credit for the course and may result in removal from the ensemble.
  • Students that miss rehearsal are expected to have reviewed and rehearsed all assigned music and choreography prior to the next rehearsal. If students are having trouble, it is their responsibility to seek out help outside of rehearsal, using online material and fellow members as resources for practice and preparation.
  • Frequent absences/late arrivals to rehearsal may result in a loss of credit/dismissal from the group.
    • One Unexcused Absence/Tardy - Parent Contact, Reduction in Weekly Grade
    • Two Unexcused Absences/Tardies = Parent Conference, Probation, Reduction in Weekly Grade
    • Students accruing more than two absences in a concert cycle may be asked to perform a “dance-off” or “sing-off” on their music to ensure they are prepared to perform
    • Three or more absences of any kind within a semester - Suspension, possible removal from the group, and a loss of credit for the course.
    • More detailed guidelines regarding absences can be found in the CHS Choir Handbook.
  • This group requires a positive, a commitment to self-improvement and an ability to work with others. Students are expected to pursue their best in each and every rehearsal to support the best work environment and performance experience for their peers. A lack of positive attitude and/or the inability to work well with the group will be addressed by the director as an area in need of improvement. Failure to make the requested adjustments may result in dismissal from the group.

Financial Matters

Fees for Show Choir Members are due before the start of the school year. The fee for the 2024-2025 school year is $400. Please do not let the financial obligation be a reason your student chooses to not participate. We have fundraising opportunities for students to raise funds for their fees.
