Students will have band rehearsal every other day and one rotating sectional rehearsal each week. Chorus - Blue and Gold Students will receive a balanced music education program focusing on the study of great choral literature and on pure enjoyment of singing. Although experiencing choral music will be an integral part of this course, there will be a special emphasis on learning to understand the individual voice. Each chorus performs in school concerts and there are opportunities for solo and small ensemble work throughout the year. This is a continuation of the 5th and 6th grade choral program.
Students enter chorus by teacher recommendation.
In seventh grade English literature and reading assignments include short stories, plays, novels and poetry. Outside reading is assigned and students are encouraged to have a Crandall Library card.

All students are required to carry a personal reading book at all times during the school year and are requested to read at least an half hour each night. Writing assignments include expository writing such as essays, journal entries, and book reports and creative writings such as stories and pomes.
