Five Star Fees and Expenses
Five Star Mandatory Class Fees
Students admitted to Five-Star will encounter additional fees on top of their choir class fees. As show choir involves choreography, costuming, make-up, set design/construction, and equipment moving, the fees for participation in Five-Star differ from those for curricular choirs. The EMS Choir operating budget is always available for your perusal. Please check out the EMS Choir Boosters page for more information about fundraising and ways parents can support the program.
This year the Five Star class fee is $275. This rate is slightly cheaper than in a traditional year. This fee goes towards choreographer, music arranger, and costuming expenses. This fee will also cover students' Five Star sweatshirts. Class fees are due 9/18.
