Choir

WELCOME TO THE KOCUREK ELEMENTARY CHOIR PAGE

The choir program at Kocurek Elementary was established in 2007. The Koala Choir has performed at a variety of school events as well as off campus venues. Our choir is made up of 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students.

Auditions are open to all 3rd-5th grade students at the beginning of each school year. The choir will perform two main concerts each year (Fall and Spring). From time to time other performance opportunities arise for each group. We have performed at the Grand Opening for the AISD Performing Arts Center, Southpark Meadows Shopping Center, and various retirement homes and shopping outlets.

ABOUT OUR CHOIR

Auditions are open to all 3rd-5th grade students at the beginning of each school year. Spots are limited. Students who are not selected after their audition are put on a "Reserve List" and will be given a spot as they become available.

The choir performs two main concerts each year (Fall and Spring). From time to time other performance opportunities arise for each group. We have performed at the Grand Opening for the AISD Performing Arts Center, Southpark Meadows Shopping Center, and various retirement homes and shopping outlets.

Choir members are expected to have good citizenship at all times; during the school day, during rehearsals, and during performances. As a member of the Koala Choir each student is expected to be a student leader in and out of the classroom. More information on Behavior Expectations can be found in the Koala Choir Handbook.
