7th/8th Grade Chorus HW


Comment on this post with an intro to one of the 3 songs we're singing at the concert. Good intros TELL THE AUDIENCE SOMETHING INTERESTING, such as the background of the artist/composer, a story about the song, insight into our process of learning the song, or something interesting to listen for when we sing the song. Alternate Homework option: Draw a beautiful cover for the program. Theme: The Time is Now!

7th/8th Grade Chorus Soloists

Great job today, all! I was proud as always at ALL the brave souls who stood and sang for us! As with 6th grade, I have provided an understudy for each solo in case the soloist is ill/missing/AWOL. 7th graders- you guys were GREAT! But all things being equal, 8th graders get the solo. Next year...

Solo 1-
soloist: Mirabelle Understudy: Lauryn/Tamara

Solo 2-
soloist: Sonia understudy: Caroline

Solo 3-
soloist: Swabi understudy: Natalie

Solo 4
soloist: Henry understudy: Gianluca

6th Grade soloists

It is never easy to choose soloists. But it is usually easy to separate the people who didn't learn it from those who did and could do it. EVERYONE who auditioned today learned it and sounded great singing! That made choosing really hard. To make myself feel better, I gave everyone an understudy- if the soloist is sick or absent, that way we have a backup.
Congratulations to ALL of you who auditioned- if this is the last time I see you audition, I'll be VERY disappointed.
Have a great weekend!

Cy-
Soloist: Evyatar G Understudy: Astrid K

Dan-
Soloist: Nour Understudy: Jordan

Rose-
Soloist: Rose Understudy: Katie

Marie-
Soloist: Grace D Understudy: Aaron

6th Grade Chorus Name suggestions

We are looking for a new name for 6th grade chorus! 6th grade chorus is too long and sounds too much like 5th grade chorus, which it is not. Put your name suggestions in the comments!

Let It Grow!

Solo auditions on Thursday, April 6! Solos: Cy, Dan and Rose (duet) and Marie. You may change names if you prefer a different name to fit your gender, but note that Cy, Rose and Marie need to rhyme. (Maybe Di, Joe, and Lee?)
