I believe in tiers - I simply think they are subjective and counterproductive to a healthy NPC recruitment.

He probably didn't force the choir to accept a tone deaf kid with no rhythm

Whoo boy, there definitely are choirs that are forced to take everyone, even in high school. For 4th/5th grade, most of them are forced to take everyone. Heck, in my school the kids had to participate in choir up through middle school as part of music class -- even the kids couldn't cut themselves from the choir! It is quite unusual to have competitive auditions in elementary school unless we're talking about a pre-professional, traveling choir.

Yeah, we pretty much all had to sing in public at least once a year through 6th grade, whether we could or not, whether we liked it or not.
I kind of wonder what cheerleaders are needed for in the lower grades to begin with. Do elementary schools have interscholastic sports now?

Oh, it's for parks and rec league football cheer. The teams are divided by grade the kids are in. The director wanted to eliminate tryouts for all the elem. age teams (the 2nd/3rd and 4/5th).

Depends on the school. I started cheering in 3rd grade, and was cheering for the basketball team of the same age level. It was a private school, though, and I know the public schools in the area didn't have sports teams at that age level.

My elementary school had cheerleading. I'm from an area where cheerleading was big, and it was just like any other rec league sport. They weren't linked to any other rec league sport, but they performed at DARE assemblies, etc. I think it was more a way to get kids to exercise who normally wouldn't be.
