Select Chorus at Grandview Farm

On Wednesday, December 2nd, the MSMS Select Chorus performed a show at the Grandview Farm in Burlington. They sang several songs from their upcoming concert, and featured several students singing their favorite holiday songs solo. The audience, volunteers from the Burlington community, was very appreciative of our performance.

SELECT CHORUS Audition Results!

WELCOME BACK!!

Hello Music Students!

Welcome back to MSMS. We hope everyone had a great summer, and is excited to get back to our performing groups. 

AUDITION INFO:

Select Chorus: 

(Be sure to let your teacher know politely!)

Auditions will be on Wednesday, September 2nd and Thursday, September 3rd.

A sign-up sheet will be posted on the Chorus Room door.

The audition will consist of 3 parts.

1.  PITCH: You will sing “Happy Birthday” (Sing to anyone you want!) a capella.  You may sing it any way that you like, including any vocal “stylings” you choose.  

2.  RHYTHM: I will chant some rhythm patterns, and you will chant them back.  I am listening to see if you can keep a steady beat, and checking your musical memory.

3.  TESTING YOUR “EAR”: Students in Select Chorus need to be able to hold their own part in much more challenging music than Choral Union.  I will check your musical ear in a few ways.

***ALL students need to audition for Select Chorus even if you were in it last year.

Symphonic Band:

Auditions will be on Wednesday, September 2nd.

A sign-up sheet will be posted on the Band Room door.

We hope everyone has a great school year!
