Five Star Events
Eisenhower Choir Concerts
There will be four (4) evening concerts throughout the year which feature all ensembles of the Eisenhower Choir Program. These concerts are mandatory for all performing students.
Daily Rehearsals
We intend to hold virtual rehearsals Monday - Thursday, from 7:00 am - 7:50 am, but we may adjust this schedule to maximize student engagement and remote learning success. Families should prepare a home rehearsal space safe for dancing and students are required to wear appropriate activewear (shoes and clothing).
Weekend Rehearsals
Each month Five Star students are expected to attend a weekend rehearsal for extended choreography practice. Intensives will be held once a month throughout the school year, but will not be scheduled on any of the three day weekends. These rehearsals usually take place in the dance studio, often from 9:00 am - 2:00 pm. Attendance is mandatory. We will meet virtually at the start of the 2020/2021 school year.
Fall Five Star Retreat
A one-night team-building camping retreat at nearby camp such as Hummingbird Music Camp or Monzano Mountain Retreat. All Five Star members are strongly encouraged to attend this retreat; however, this trip is not mandatory. The Fall Five Star Retreat for 2020/2021 has been canceled due to the pandemic.
Nob Hill Caroling
It is an annual tradition for Five Star to attend the Nob Hill Shop and Stroll to carol in various restaurants and for passersby. Students travel in a large on-foot caravan accompanied by their families and friends. This event is a successful fundraiser for our spring trip.
Elementary School Tour
Five Star Show Choir will tour our cluster elementary schools in early February with the band and orchestra to promote the EMS Music program and recruit potential music students. Participating students will be excused from class during the day and travel to the neighboring elementary schools by bus. There is no cost for this trip, however donations are welcome to assist with the cost of transportation. Students must be grade eligible (2.0 GPA and no F’s) to participate.
High School Choir Concerts
Five Star will perform as a guest at various high school choir concerts a few times throughout the year. These performances provide us experience and a chance to promote our program. Participation is mandatory.
Show Choir Spring Competition Trip
In the spring, Five Star Show Choir will travel out-of-state for a highly competitive show choir competition. This is the big event of the year for our Five Star Show Choir! The Show Choir Spring Competition Trip for 2020/2021 has been canceled due to the pandemic.
