Welcome back! My name is Kristi Blair, and I am the music teacher at Cimarron
Elementary School. Choir will be starting soon, and we want your child to be a part of the
“Cheetah Choir”!
Any 4th/5th grader who loves to sing, practice, and perform, and can commit to weekly
practices is welcome to join the Cheetah Choir. All members must exhibit excellent
classroom behavior, be able to follow directions, and be able to work as a team. We will
perform at certain events throughout the year and you will be given prior notification.
There will be a $20.00 cost for this group for new members, which covers the shirt for choir,
choir music, awards, and field trips. If you already have a choir shirt, the cost will be only
$10.00.
Practices are held on Fridays from 7:00-7:45 am in the Music Room. The first practice will
be September 7, 2018. Students will enter through the Cafeteria entrance in the back and
can be dropped off at 7:00am. All late arrivals will need to wait and enter through the front
doors when they open. They will be counted tardy.
More practices will be added if it seems that we are not getting enough time due to the new
school start times, but parents will be told in advance about these added practices.
Thank you so much for helping make this a great year! I look forward to meeting all of you.
Please take the next week to decide if you would like to sign up for choir. Attached are the
permission form, contract, and t-shirt order form, which must be returned to me by
Wednesday, September 5, 2018. I am looking forward to an exciting year at school and in
choir!
Sincerely,
Kristi Blair

______________________________ ________________
(Parent/Guardian Signature) (Date)
Cheetah Choir is an extra-curricular activity that requires all members to have and maintain passing
grades and exemplary behavior. Katy ISD has set a standard that if academic grades drop below 70 and/or
conduct marks of either “N” or “U” are acquired on progress reports/report cards, then students will not be
allowed to perform with the choir. Eligibility decisions will be made directly in correspondence with the
last report card sent home before a performance.
During a rehearsal, students are expected to stand and sing without talking to one another. Long
periods of talking AND singing can cause strain to young vocal cords. It also slows down the rehearsal and
makes it “boring” for everyone! One warning note will be issued for inappropriate behavior so that parents
can be made aware of any issues when they occur. Please take a few moments to review with your child
the expectations we have for them as a choir member as stated below. Students who cannot follow
directions in the rehearsal or the classroom will be removed from the choir. I am looking forward to a great
year!
Please sign after reading, stating that you and your child have read and understand the commitment.
I agree to keep talking, playing, or socializing to a minimum during practice. Repeated interruption will
result in a written warning note home. If the behavior occurs again, I will be dismissed from choir.
I agree to work as a team and to be willing to sit, stand, or work with any member of choir.
I will work hard to memorize the song lyrics, and be willing to study them at home.
I agree to wearing my Cheetah Choir uniform for every performance. All Choir participants must purchase
a t-shirt and will be required to wear their choir shirt with blue jeans (not jean skirts, shorts, etc.) at all
performances.
My child and I have reviewed and agree to the rules and requirements for CE Cheetah Choir. She/He
understands that Cheetah Choir is a 4th/5th grade honor choir, and it is a privilege to represent the school and
participate in this program.
