In music, an arrangement is a musical reconceptualization of a previously composed work. It may differ from
the original work by means of reharmonization, melodic paraphrasing, orchestration, or development of
the formal structure. Arranging involves adding compositional techniques, such as new thematic material for
introductions, transitions, or modulations, and endings. Arranging is the art of giving an existing melody
musical variety and must be completed by a music arranger. The choir relies on music arranging for their set
performances, concerts and festival competitions. Each song that is arranged can cost between $400 and
$700.

Comment:
Project Distinction:
What makes this project distinctive?
CHS Vocal Music consists of 3 “Indispensables”, one of which is the musical arrangements. The other two
include the back-up band, and the accompanist. Without these three elements, student learning and enriching
impactful experiences would be vastly limited. Arrangements allow the music to fit the group and provide a
targeted performance leveraging the best of music and movement.
Project Goals:
What are the goals (outputs and/or outcomes) of the project? How will you measure your goals?
Our goals are to be able to provide quality songs that when arranged will be performed at our concerts,
shows and then ultimately during competition season in the spring.
Target Population:
Who is your target population and why? How will you reach them?
Our target population includes our entire high school student body, staff, parents and local community as
benefactors of our top-notch performances. The students at Valley Middle School and Calavera Hills Middle
Schools receive special performances by the CHS Vocal Music students to encourage the continuation of their
music education and to grow interest in further pursuit of music recognizing that they too would grow to
to perform at that level.
In addition, students and families of southern California Show Choir competition festival program benefit
from performances throughout the season. The audiences consist of traditional music enthusiast and family,
but almost more gratifyingly, the competing show choirs cheer and encourage their competition in a manner
almost not seen in other competition. The community appreciates the hard work required to put on a great
show, identifying with it and support their competition.

Organization Changes/Challenges/Circumstances:
What special circumstances, challenges or changes have affected your organization? What impact has this had on
your organization?
Clearly Covid has thrown a wrench at the performance community. As with the rest of us, performance
groups, including our own, gathered virtually
to work on our craft. That not withstanding, performance art begs for a live audience. Last school year was
our first live year back having lost
a couple of critical performance years. We had an enthusiastic and close group which thrived and made us
very proud. This year the program has
grown again and are excited for the year to come.
If this grant application is for a school-based project, please answer the following two questions:
State Standards Support:
How does your arts education project support the California State Content Standards for the Visual and Performing
Arts? *Please refer to the California State Board of Education website for reference.
The Carlsbad High School Vocal Music Program is one of the few remaining competitive programs in San
Diego County and strives to promote awareness, appreciation, and expression of the arts in the community.
The program was impacted through the Covid sequestration but is rapidly growing again with nearly a
doubling in participation from last year, award-winning program
which consists of three choirs: Surround Sound (adv. mixed choir), Purple Reign (Intermediate mixed Choir),
and Lancer Choir (novice concert choir),
During competition season the choirs put their skills to the test against choirs throughout southern California.
Carlsbad High School is proud to be
the recipient of numerous first place awards from these vocal music competitions. The strength of the
program is evidence of the commitment of prior and current choir directors. The current director Mr. Eloy
Castaneda. (Mr. C) was born and raised in Carlsbad California and has been a musician since he was 5 years
old. He found his love for choral music as a member of CHS Sound Express in 2005. Mr. C has always been
involved in Carlsbad's visual and performing arts, having been mentored by Carlsbad Alumni and 16 year
choral director James Shepard and maintaining his connection with the program since that time. His career as

State Standards Description:
