PARENT REFERENCE GUIDE & INFORMATION PACKET

2019 – 2020

2019-2020 KENWOOD CONCERT CHOIR PARENTS (KCCP) PARENT REFERENCE GUIDE

This Kenwood Academy Concert Choir Parent Handbook contains most of the information parents will need to know regarding Concert Choir procedures, rules, and expectations. This is to help keep you informed about what you and your student can expect this year in Concert Choir. In order to make certain that the information in this handbook has been reviewed and understood in its entirety, please sign the KCCP “Acknowledgement Form” & “Parent & Student Network/Volunteer Form” and return each form to a KCCP representative ‘completed’ and ‘signed’ at the end of the September 19, 2019 meeting. As a member of Kenwood Academy Concert Choir (KCC) your son/daughter will encounter a fulfilling and rewarding educational experience. They will work very hard and experience many triumphs, as well as some challenges; but these experiences will help to prepare them for their lives after high school. We sincerely hope this guide will answer most of the important questions about choral fees, uniform fees and how to pay

for them through fund-raising. As well as the importance of understanding how great an impact your involvement can be if

you volunteer your time to your child through the activities facilitated by this parent organization.

KENWOOD CONCERT CHOIR PARENTS (KCCP) HOW AND WHY PARENTS MUST GET AND STAY INVOLVED. If you are a parent/guardian of a Kenwood Concert Choir student, you are already a member of this organization via the enrollment of your son/daughter. Getting ACTIVELY involved in Kenwood Concert Choir Parents (KCCP) will give you the opportunity to share with your child the last four years of their education, these years that go so fast and are rarely enjoyed by many parents. Your child might say they rather not have you around, but most parents actually learn that in reality they appreciate your involvement and will thank you in the future. Kenwood Concert Choir is fortunate to have a great director, Mr. Richard Nunley. The Kenwood Concert Choir Parents (KCCP) are needed to support the director, and help with the logistics of performances, fund-raising, transporting students, uniforms and other details necessary for this choir. Concert Choir needs parents involved in order to function at its best; it is for this reason that we urge you to get involved. Join one of the many committees; we need your help. Grandparents, siblings, or any member of your family can get involved and make a difference. This parent group is a great way to meet the parents and the kids your student will be spending much of their time with during this school year. The easiest way to volunteer is by joining the monthly KCCP meetings where you will learn more about the program and where it needs your help. Please volunteer when performance dates come - Feel free to ask one of the KCCP officers: “How can I help?” We work hard, but with more hands it becomes easier and fun as you meet other parents. As a guideline, we recommend that every family contribute at least 20 hours of their time to KCCP each school year and our meetings only require 9 hours of your time. GENERAL INFORMATION HOW DO I KEEP INFORMED OF IMPORTANT INFORMATION? The Kenwood Concert Choir web site is a place that you will need to visit often not only to keep informed, but also to view the most recent pictures of the choir’s activities. It is here that you will find the latest information on all upcoming events and fund-raising opportunities. Make sure to visit our web site at http://kaconcertchoir.org. You will find additional rehearsal times, schedules, this handbook, chaperone guidelines, and all parent contact information. You will also have an opportunity to sign up electronically for the mailing and call post listing via One Call Now notification system. ACTIVITY FEE HOW DO WE PAY FOR THIS? There are many questions about the economic impact of Kenwood Concert Choir on each family. While some school programs traditionally do not have fees (or minimal fees), the Kenwood Academy High School Concert Choir program is very different. When we hear the bottom line, we sometimes wonder how we are going to be able to raise the funds needed for our children to be able to continue the pursuit of their musical interest. We do not want the economic factor to keep any student from participating in KCC. Throughout the year there are many opportunities to earn monies which can ultimately be applied to the student’s KCC fees. There are many families that do not pay anything out of pocket for their student to be in Concert Choir, simply because of their dedication and successfully participating in ACTIVE fund-raising! WHO/WHERE CAN WE MAKE OUR PAYMENTS TO? There are several ways you can make an activity fee payment. Activity fee payment can be made to the School’s Business Manager by the methods of cash, cashier’s check, or money orders only. Payments can also be made by credit/debit card can be made via the Kenwood Academy website (kenwoodacademy.org) by clicking the Payments/Donations link. Any payments you make towards your child’s Concert Choir activity fee with Ms. Towns (School’s Business Manager/Treasurer) or the Kenwood website, we ask that you please provide a copy of the receipt so that you can receive proper credit to your current KCC account balance and avoid any overpayments to your child’s account.

2019-2020 KENWOOD CONCERT CHOIR PARENTS (KCCP) PARENT REFERENCE GUIDE

(page 2) FUND-RAISING We have a fund-raising vice-president (Valerie Stoudemire), dedicated to sponsoring many opportunities to earn monies towards your child’s choral fees. Some of the fundraisers in the past couple of years were the Student Sponsorship Pledge Program, Snap & Raise, The Goodies Factory. On August 31, 2109, prior to the start of the school we did a car wash fundraiser to possibly help reduce some the expense for the Concert Choir Spring Tour. We would like to plan many other fundraisers during the fall, winter and spring months of the school year. The fee schedule is broken down into monthly scheduled payment amounts (September 2019 – November 2019). You can

deposit smaller amounts into your child’s account ahead of the payment due dates as well. This can be done all through fund-

raising so you don’t have to come up with the money out of pocket. Please see the “KCCP Activity Fee Information” handout for

more details. The best way to learn about these fund-raising opportunities is by keeping informed; and the best way to keep

informed is by attending the monthly parent meetings that take place EVERY third Thursday of the month during the school year

with exception of the months of November and April. Due dates are not flexible, however unique circumstances can always be

discussed and worked out with the Choral Director (Richard Nunley Jr.) or the KCCP President (Belinda Blake). UNIFORMS WHAT DO THEY WEAR? Uniforms are worn at every performance. Although most uniforms do not change drastically from year to year, due to the supply of certain items for re-order; we often have to make a decision to replace uniforms from year to year. Below is a list of all uniforms necessary for participation (see the “KCCP Activity Fee Information” for detailed cost): ★ Casual Uniform Items: All Students wear: Red long-sleeve oxford with embroidered logo or Pacific Blue long-sleeve

oxford with embroidered logo with uniform dark washed blue jean pants (ONLY-NO HOLES ALLOWED) and black belt. Male Students wear: Black socks & Black loafer shoe; Female students wear: Flesh-tone hosiery & Black flat shoe.

★ Dress Casual Uniform Items: All Students wear: Red or Pacific Blue long-sleeve oxford with embroidered logo. In addition: Male students wear: dark blue cardigan with logo, blue uniform pants, black belt, black socks & black loafer shoe. Female students wear: dark blue cardigan with logo, blue uniform pants, black belt, flesh tone hosiery & black flat shoe.

★ Formal Wear Uniform Items: Male Students wear: Black Tuxedo with bow tie/vest; and Female Students wear: Royal Blue and Black Formal gown

★ Additional Accessories: Female students: dress casual socks, jewelry set (earrings, necklace & bracelet);

TIPS FOR PARENTS: ★ Additional Uniform Compliance: Male and female students are required to wear designated uniforms for ALL

performances. In order to maintain a low uniform budget, we are asking parents of male students to ensure each young man utilizes a black belt and a pair of black socks they already own. Male students must wear T-shirt/undershirts under uniform shirts. Parents of female students: young ladies must wear black undergarments ONLY when performing. In addition, all female students MUST wear flesh tone hosiery with casual and formal wear. Lastly, female students must also wear black foundation garments (i.e. female under garments, body briefs, girdles, etc.) underneath their formal gown to assist in maintaining a proper fit of the dress. NO white socks will be allowed during performances. Non-compliance during performances is subject to a violation and students will not be allowed to perform. Parents, please encourage students to come ‘fully’ prepared in their proper undergarments for their uniforms ‘each’ time he/she performs.

★ Jewelry: Students are NOT allowed to wear personal jewelry during performances. Designated uniform jewelry will be supplied at each performance for casual wear and formal wear. During the summer months, we know that female students decide to get additional piercing (i.e, nose piercing, eyebrow piercing, and additional piercing in their ears). During all performances, young ladies are to remove all additional jewelry from these piercing.

★ Responsibility: Make certain your son/daughter is prepared for performances. They must take accountability and become responsible regarding their behavior, appearance and overall professionalism inside the classroom and during performances. Parent chaperones should NEVER have to consistently speak with your child concerning his/her behavior.
