LETTERING IN CHORUS
HOW TO EARN A VARSITY LETTER
Participation in any quality organization or team requires commitment, responsibility, hard work, and sacrifice. Students who exemplify such qualities form the backbone of Lassiter Chorus. Chorus members can earn a varsity letter through a merit point system. Students who qualify for a letter in subsequent years will receive a bar to attach to the letter. The student bears a huge responsibility in the lettering process by submitting point requests to the student secretary on a regular basis.
A student may attend virtually every event and still not letter because they failed to turn in point requests. An officer or the director must approve all point requests.
REQUESTS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE SECRETARY BY FRIDAY OF THE WEEK IN WHICH THEY WERE EARNED.
Late points will not be accepted. If a student comes up short on points at the end of the year, they cannot go back and submit points they failed to turn in earlier in the year. No points can be gained without the appropriate forms being submitted in a timely fashion to the Secretary. A final “point submission date” for the year will be announced and posted. Be sure you fill out the point form completely, indicating name and choir. A number of merit point sources require verification such as a concert program, ticket stub, or a note from parents.
VERIFICATION MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH YOUR POINT REQUEST. IF NO VERIFICATION IS SUBMITTED,THE POINT REQUEST WILL BE DISCARDED. THE SECRETARIES WILL NOT TRACK YOU DOWN FOR WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE TURNED IN.
