Chorus

All fourth and fifth grade students are eligible to participate in the Patterson Fourth and Fifth Grade Chorus.

Weekly rehearsals are held on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 7:50 - 8:50 am. Due to the size of the chorus, approximately 140 singers, students attend rehearsal only once a week. Several weeks before each performance date, the Wednesday and Thursday groups are combined for final musical and logistical preparations.

Chorus members wear a uniform consisting of a white Patterson Chorus polo shirt with the Patterson Chorus logo on the front. Boys wear black slacks, socks, and shoes. Girls wear black skirts, tights, and shoes.

The Chorus performs three times a year: in October at the Demonstration Concert, in March in the musical, and in May at the District 204 Fine Arts Festival. Other opportunities may arise on a year-by-year basis.

We are fortunate to have an outstanding group of parent volunteers each year who assist with the phone tree, photography, video, costuming, scenery, and chaperoning.

Participation in chorus is an excellent way to develop musical skills, experience positive and healthy public performance experience, and get to know students from many other classes.

Chorus is strictly voluntary. There are no auditions. All interested fourth and fifth grade students are accepted.
