The expectations for this group <br /> are set high, and students are encouraged to reach rieir full potentials as individual performers <br /> and as part of the whole group, Recruiting students from every elementary school creates a <br /> greater sense of community because they realize that there are others outside of their own <br /> school who are striving to reach the same goals. <br /> Artists Involved in the Project <br /> Teresa Morrow, Choral Director at C.W. Stanford Middle, will serve as the guest clinician for All <br /> County Chorus. She was chosen because she has elementary and middle school experience <br /> as a choral and music teacher and will be able to provide students with a glimpse of what to <br /> expect in middle school. As an African-American woman, she also brings a much needed level <br /> of diversity to the experience, which will ideally inspire a diverse set of students to participate. <br /> The clinician pay rate is $500 total, which includes planning, directing a full day of rehearsals <br /> with approximately 120 students and the choral concert„ <br /> Wayne Wilson, music teacher at Pathways Elementary, will coordinate the event. <br /> Publicity and Promotion of Project <br /> Elementary schools will promote All County Chorus to fourth and fifth grade students in late Fall <br /> to give them opportunities to sign up and/or audition as representatives of their schools, The <br /> final concert is promoted and publicized by individual schools through weekly electronic <br /> newsletters, school-wide auto calls, and classroom newsletters, as well as by Orange County <br /> Schools via district-wide auto calls and social media posts. All County Chorus coordinators also <br /> plan on contacting the ews of Orange news outlet to request coverage of the event. <br /> Project Evaluation <br /> The success of All County Chorus will first be measured based on how many fourth and fifth <br /> grade students sign up and/or audition initially. A high level of participation from students <br /> indicates the value they see in the experience based on the learning potential from the clinician, <br /> as well as how effective communication has been about the event. To assess the effectiveness <br /> of the actual experience, students and music teachers will be given surveys following the clinic <br /> and concert to determine if and how the experience enhanced their vocal abilities and <br />
