Term 4 Self Assessment NOW DUE
Term 4 Self Assessment
The Term 4 Self-Assessment for all SHHS Choirs is now online and ready to accept responses. This assignment is due no later than 8am on Friday, May 28th.
Please be thoughtful and introspective as you respond to the questions in the assessment. Please take time to say what you really feel. This isn't a race. I appreciate your ability to reflect and think with maturity.
You are required to complete an assessment for each choir you are enrolled in. Men in Concert Choir DO NOT have to do an assessment for Men's Camerata, nor do Serendipity sophomores who sing in Women's Chorale, unless they are actually enrolled in the class.
The following questions will require in depth answers. You may choose to write these in a separate document and copy and paste them into the required fields.
Why is it important to attend all rehearsals?
What was your favorite piece from this term and why?
What was your least favorite piece from this term and why?
Describe a cool or memorable musical moment from this term.
What could you have done better this term?
How have you grown as a musician this term?
What grade do you deserve for this term and why?
I respectfully reserve the right to talk with any student who I feel has either been too hard or too generous on grading themselves--but I generally will trust your instincts and assign you the term grade you feel you deserve. Be fair, but honest in your evaluation of your overall attendance, participation, behavior, and preparedness.
I will input Term Grades starting Monday afternoon, May 24th. Those who have not yet completed the self-assessment by then will have an (F) for their grade until it is completed. I'll update grades Monday afternoon, and again throughout the week. Grades will not be updated this weekend, so please do not email me asking me to do so.
Grades must be submitted no later than noon on Friday, May 28th. If I have not received your assessment by then, I'll have to give you an Incomplete until you complete the assignment.

Performance Calendar 2020-2021
Below is the link to our performance calendar for 2020-2021. Please take a look at these dates. As you are planning family vacations, appointments, and other important events, please do everything possible to avoid these dates as they constitute very important grades for the students.
Every year, we have people who, with the best of intentions, plan family trips and other events right on the top of our performances, which then put students in a difficult place of having to make-up points they've lost because of poor planning. Please try and get these dates on the calendar right now!
Because we aren't yet certain when the group size limits and social distancing measures will be lifted, some of these dates are tentative until we have more information.

Temple Square Performances Saturday
Our annual concert at Temple Square is this Saturday. We will meet in the choir room no later than 11:45am, dressed in your concert uniform. You should also bring cold weather gear. The LDS Church has asked that we bring very few additional items with us (bags, etc.) because storage of these items is problematic.
The buses will leave at noon, but we need everyone there at 11:45am. You'll have some free time at City Creek Center and Temple Square for lunch. We then meet at 3:30pm in the lobby of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, with a 4pm start time for that performance. We then move directly to the Assmebly Hall for a quick rehearsal, and we begin our concert at 5:30pm. If you are not Singers, you are free to go home with your parents at 6:15pm, once the concert is concluded. You will need to have a check-out card with your name on it, that you have given to a chaperone.
If extenuating circumstances require you to arrive separately with your parents, you must clear that with me ahead of time, and you must check-in with your section leader no later than 3:30pm in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Singers will be giving a concert at 8pm in the North Visitors Center. Following this performance, the remaining buses will go home (around 9pm). Since most student will go home with their parents at 6:15pm, only two buses will stay in Salt Lake to take people home.

Join our Texting Service
At Salem Hills, many teachers and coaches have started using "Remind" which is a free service in education for sending text message alerts to students. I am going to begin using this service in choir for important reminders.
It requires every student with a cell phone to enroll in order to receive the messages. Enrolling is VERY simple. Follow the steps below:
Since many of you are involved in multiple groups, I'll list them all below. The groups with their accompanying add name are below:
Group Codes
Serendipity code: @shhsser15

Choir Tour code: @shhstour16
All-State code: @shhsas2015
Choir Council code: @ccouncil15
I'm asking you to do this right now if you can! Parents may join the group(s) as well--a smart idea, especially if your child does not own a cell phone. You can join as many groups as you need to. Just follow the same steps as above, using the same number. Note that you will not need to re-submit your name for every additional group you join.
I need all men in Concert Choir to also please add Men's Camerata so you will receive reminders about Morning Munch rehearsals and our combined men's performances.
It requires every student with a cell phone to enroll in order to receive the messages. Enrolling is VERY simple. Follow the steps below:
- On your cell phone, prepare a text message to the number 81010
- In the message of the text, type the required group code (see below)
- Send text
- You will receive a confirmation text, asking you to respond with your first and last name. Please do this.
- You will receive an additional confirmation text telling you which group you've enrolled in

Comfort Zone Assignment #3 Due Thursday, February 12th at Midnight
You will do something that is totally beyond your comfort zone and then write and tell me all about it! I don’t want you to do anything illegal or that might get you into trouble. Do something that is out of the ordinary for you. This could be calling a long-lost friend, asking someone out on a date, spending a weekend-evening with your parents instead of going out with friends, etc. It could be as simple as letting someone know how much you love them. Whatever you decide to do, it must be something that exposes you to certain risk (but not physical danger), makes you a little uncomfortable, and ultimately, makes you feel better once you’ve done it. You will submit your reflection on our website, www.shhschoirs.org using the link on the home page "Submit Comfort Zone Assignment #3." Your responses to the following questions will tell me everything about the experience: 1) what the experience was, 2) how you chose it, 3) how you felt leading-up to it, 4) how you felt following the experience, and 5) the important lessons you learned. Please adhere strictly to those five requirements and you will succeed on this assignment.

Comfort Zone Assignment #3 Due Thursday, February 13th at Midnight
You will do something that is totally beyond your comfort zone and then write and tell me all about it! I don’t want you to do anything illegal or that might get you into trouble. Do something that is out of the ordinary for you. This could be calling a long-lost friend, asking someone out on a date, spending a weekend-evening with your parents instead of going out with friends, etc. It could be as simple as letting someone know how much you love them. Whatever you decide to do, it must be something that exposes you to certain risk (but not physical danger), makes you a little uncomfortable, and ultimately, makes you feel better once you’ve done it. You will submit your reflection on our website, www.shhschoirs.org using the link on the home page "Submit Comfort Zone Assignment #3." Your responses to the following questions will tell me everything about the experience: 1) what the experience was, 2) how you chose it, 3) how you felt leading-up to it, 4) how you felt following the experience, and 5) the important lessons you learned. Please adhere strictly to those five requirements and you will succeed on this assignment.

The services will be held on Saturday, June 1st at 11:00am in the Salem Hills High School Auditorium.
-Choir members need to arrive no later than 9am for a quick warm-up and rehearsal on the stage.
-You will be assigned a seat offstage behind the choir risers where you will sit while we are not performing. You must be in that seat by 10:45am prior to the start of the services.
-Because so many guests and dignitaries will be attending the funeral, please park in the parking lot north of the building, but enter the side doors (where we sign-in for normal concerts).

We also are trying to gather SHHS Choir Alumni who may have known Cody or who simply want to be involved, to join us for "And Wherever You Go." The music is posted above for any SHHS Choir Alumni to review, prepare, and sing with us on June 1st.
