Music Chair. The KJHC coordinator will work in collaboration
with the General Music 6-12 chair, KCC coordinator and
K-5 chair. If for any reason the outgoing chair cannot
fulfill the additional 2-year KJHC duties, then she/he
and the current General Music 6-12 chair will choose
and appoint a qualified KMEA member to serve as the
KJHC coordinator. |

The
Kentucky Junior High Chorus will consist of 204 auditioned/selected
students from grades seven, eight,
and nine. The chorus consists of four equal sections

voices may audition
for the soprano or alto part. |
3. |
In
order to audition, students must participate in their
school's
chorus. If a student has a scheduling
conflict
with choir or if the school does not have a chorus, then
the teacher CAN choose to sponsor and work with students.
ONLY the music teacher of record can audition students
for the KJHC.” (This rule does allow for the teacher
of record to collaborate with another teacher. For instance,
the middle school teacher could work with the ninth graders
at
the high school. |

selected for the chorus will be those receiving the
highest scores in each section. The cut off score for
each vocal part will depend on the number of students

district does not have a student in the highest scores,
then the coordinator will add the student with the highest
score in that district to the chorus. |
