BRAMS Role Models
In Choral Emphasis, we are working on being role models for students in the school. This means that we are focused during instruction, putting forth our best effort, and demonstrating RISE (RESPECT, INTEGRITY, SAFETY, EXCELLENCE) values throughout our day. BRAMS Chorus is truly a team!
In Chorus, we SHOW WHAT WE KNOW! This means that we stand with excellent posture, use breath support to project our voices, and sing with diction and expression.
