Honor Choir Festival Details
Schedule
(Specific rehearsal times coming soon)
8:00 - 8:30 Check in, seating
5:45 Honor Choir Concert
Information for Directors
It is the expectation that all students perform their music from memory. Please make sure they are adequately prepared.
Once your kids are checked in, you may proceed to pick up your registration and head to your first session.
If you have any parent chaperones, they will need to wear a name tag that will be given to them at the student check in. This will give them access to accompany students, but not to any conference sessions. Parent chaperones may bring their own lunch or purchase one of the student lunches.
Solos for any songs will be handled through pull-out sessions during rehearsals. Students need to be memorized and ready first thing in the morning.
Information for Parents
Concert tickets are $5. Parents are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance online, but cash/checks will also be accepted at the door.
Doors will open for the concert no earlier than 5:00pm.
The honor choir concert is being professionally recorded. Recordings of the performance will be available for purchase via order form (to be linked here soon, also provided in concert program) or online at the Soundwaves website.

What to Avoid Bringing
Any extra items, especially valuable technology such as cell phones. If a phone is heard or seen during any rehearsal times, it may be confiscated for the duration of the day. Neither CT-ACDA nor our hosts at Guilford High School are responsible for any lost or damaged items.
In case of an emergency, parents should contact their child's teacher directly, and the teacher can then contact the choir chair.
