Varsity Letter Opportunity
The Lassiter Chorus Varsity Letter Program recognizes students who consistently demonstrate commitment, leadership, excellence, and service throughout the school year. Unlike athletic teams that compete during one season, chorus students earn their letter through sustained participation over an entire academic year. Students accumulate points by participating in performances, rehearsals, leadership, service, musical enrichment, and other activities that strengthen both themselves and the program. The varsity letter is one of the highest honors a chorus student can earn. Students may earn points in a variety of ways, including:
Required Program Activities
- Concert performances
- Large Group Performance Evaluation (LGPE)
- Required sectionals
Musical Achievement
- GMEA All-State Chorus & District Honor Chorus
- GHSA Literary Competition
- Governor's Honors Program
- Private lessons
- Summer music camps
Leadership
- Student officers
- Student mentoring
- Recruitment activities
School Involvement
- Attending Fine Arts performances
- Supporting other Lassiter arts programs
- Academic achievement
- Tri-M Music Honor Society
Service
- Volunteer hours
- Community outreach
- Special projects
An updated list of eligible activities and point values is maintained throughout the school year and is available on the chorus website. Students are responsible for submitting required documentation by published deadlines.
Letter Point Deadlines
Students should regularly submit point requests throughout the year rather than waiting until spring.Activities that require verification should include appropriate documentation, such as:
- Concert programs
- Event registration confirmations
- Certificates
- Teacher verification
- Volunteer sign-in records
Requests submitted after the published deadline may not be accepted. Developing responsibility for tracking accomplishments is an important part of the lettering process.
