End-Of-Year Assessments
Our End-of-Year Assessments begin this week!  Students, these assessments act as as part of your Final Exam, as well as your auditions for next year, be it Concert Choir or Chamber Choir.  Concert Choir auditions consist of students singing their 4 scales/sequences, as well as a Level 3 Sight-Reading exercise.  Chamber Choir auditions add a prepared piece on top of the scales/sequences and a Level 4 Sight-Reading exercise.  Those auditioning for Chamber Choir, I will have a sign-up sheet on my door beginning tomorrow to designate which day you will audition & sing your prepared piece.


Spring Concert Performance
Our Spring Concert is next week!  The concert will now be held on the evening of Friday, May 21st at 7:00pm.  Student call time is at 5:30pm in full uniform (tuxes & dresses).  Tickets are $5 for the public, and doors open at 6:45 for seating.  While there are no assigned seats at this concert, please use your own discretion and select your seats with social distancing guidelines in mind.  There are certain rows that are marked off, and rows that are open.  Groups or family members may sit together, however, please be courteous of others and sit distant from groups & families that are also here to enjoy the concert.  After the concert, we will host our annual awards ceremony, recognizing all individual and group awards from throughout the year!


Spring Concert Dress Rehearsal
Just like our Winter Concert, all students, parents, & guardians need to be aware that there will be a required “dress” rehearsal on the afternoon of next Wednesday, May 19th for all students directly after school.  It is imperative that all students are present at this rehearsal in order to figure out how we will be getting on & off the stage, where to sit in the audience, and to have a final run-through with our accompanist.  Students that are not present at this rehearsals will not be allowed to perform at our Spring Concert.  Men’s & Women’s Choir will be released by 5:30, Concert Choir by 7:00, and Chamber Choir by 8:00.
