Music Arrangements
Project Summary:*
Please provide us with a brief summary of your project.
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.
Professional music arrangers exude an excellence and talented gift for music. Their craft is invaluable to
music programs nationwide. We work with a NY based arranger named Cooper Baldwin and a
CHS Alumni and college student Travis Kramer

for 3-5 competitions in the spring. Carlsbad has placed 1st and 2nd respectively in their 1st competition.
These professional arrangements are important to the choir's success.

State Standards Support
How does your arts education project support the California State Content Standards for the 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 rapidly growing in
participation since returning to school last year. Last year's competition sets were award winning and
thrilling to watch. The Carlsbad shows have been top notch this year and exciting to watch. This year's
competition sets from Sound Express and Purple Reign show they are on track for another outstanding year
winning 1st and 2nd place trophies against top Southern California show choirs in their first competition of
the season. Carlsbad has a tradition of winning against better endowed schools (especially from the
Hollywood area where entertainment moguls can fund at 10x the Carlsbad budget.
State Standards Descriptions
Please cite the specific numbers, grade level(s) and descriptions as they pertain to your project. Describe how the
curriculum and instruction (if applicable) of the project aligns to each standard. Please refer to California State
Board of Education website for reference.
Students in the 9th through 12th grade Carlsbad High School Vocal Music Program learn sight reading,
music theory, music history, as well as how to sing classical and modern music in multi-part harmonies. They
learn teamwork, discipline, responsibility and how to treat others with respect and love while expressing
themselves through the medium of singing, dancing, and storytelling. The vocal music program welcomes all
students and every student gets a chance to shine onstage.

Project Distinction:
What makes this project distinctive?
CHS vocal music major areas of distinction are in its professional arrangements and choreography. From a
funding perspective, we are unable to match the spending that other large choirs use for elaborate set
materials, but Carlsbad has a distinction and culture of a high level of sweat equity. Our powerful
choreography matches our arrangements and Carlsbad has the distinction of creating narrative sets with far
more intricate and involved dance than its competition. The arrangements are symbiotic with the movement.
If you haven't seen them perform before, it is hard to imagine that this intricate and coordinated presentation
is coming from high school kids performing at the highest level. What is really distinctive is heart and
excellence as evidenced by this Sound Expresses 1st place performance at this season's first competition. The
set is based on Narnia and tells a whole story through song and dance in 20 minutes. I encourage you to
watch and enjoy or at least scan through for excerpts. Seeing is better than words to describe why the
program is special ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q27sa9xoOpU ). Due to copyright, please do not
repost this unlisted video on the broader web but it is fine for personal enjoyment.
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. As we don't have large external funding
of our Hollywood/Burbank area competition puts forward with production budgets in the hundreds of
thousands of dollars, we target our precious resources on high quality music arrangement and choreography
and the strength and motivation of our student performers.

TTarget 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.
Project Partnerships:
If applicable, please provide names and brief descriptions of roles for any partners in this project. This would
include any organizations, artists or individuals involved in your project that are not employed or affiliated with the

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 threw a wrench at the performance community. The program lost its continuity and
membership when students were sent home. 4 years ago. A core group of freshmen and sophomores really
lead the way in rebuilding the program without a lot of peer mentorship usually provided by the veteran
upper classman. These same students are now in their 3rd year and have built a program back to a
competitive quality that Carlsbad was used to pre-Covid. Also, in the midst of the rebuilding, the prior choir

director took another spot in the district and Director Eloy Casteneda was hired only 2 weeks before last
school year. He and his creative team have put an award-winning season together last year and are on track
to do it again. The program demands money for music, choreography, sets, costumes... and fundraising and
donations are a persistent need. Your involvement and patronage in the past and hopefully in the future is
very much appreciated and necessary.
We are 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.
