Course Outcomes

Determine a mutually agreed upon time and place for weekly rehearsals attending a total of 10 per quarter.
In consultation with Music faculty, the group will determine a course of study or repertoire they will cover in the course of the quarter.
Rehearse themselves (often without conductor) as they seek to perfect the selected material.
Perform as determined by faculty advisor and mutually agreed upon by group. Perusal of literature is more important than public performance for these groups.
