ASSIGNMENT #1 FOR CHOIR:

LIVE Performance Critique 

All choir students will have papers due through out the year.  The two main assignments worth 75 points each semester are the LIVE Performance Papers.

LIVE PERFORMANCE CRITIQUE 

DUE DATE

1st semester due:  FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2015

            You will need to see one LIVE musical performance per semester and write a paper on it.  The paper will consist of your constructive comments on what you thought of the performance.  The performance needs to be attended on your own time.  Every month I will list the musical performances going on in the district with time, cost, place, etc...  It is your job to write the information down and make it to one of these concerts.  If you want to see a performance on your own, you may do this as well.  Be sure to check with me before you go to be sure it is aLIVE musical performance.  Some shows that are not LIVE musical performance would be:

            1.  A play (no music)

            2.  A show on ice. (the music is taped not LIVE)

            3.  A live television show (you are not seeing it LIVE)

            Lastly, when your report is finished, you will need to attach your ticket stub, program, and have a parent signature saying that you did indeed attend this concert.

NOTE:  YOU WILL NEED TO TURN IN THE REPORT WITHIN 1 MONTH 

OF SEEING THE PERFORMANCE OR IT WILL NOT COUNT!!!

RUBRIC

1. One FULL page typed – PLEASE USE SPELL AND GRAMMAR CHECK!!

2.  Normal margins, normal heading, double spaced
