ALL DISTRICT CHORUS
SInging with "the best of the best" is an incredible experience. This is what All-District Chorus is- a spine tingling opportunity to perform under the direction of a regionally recognized director with students from all over Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore.
All 7th and 8th grade chorus members have the opportunity to audition in November for this group. Auditions this year will be held here at Corporate Landing MS. This is a great opportunity for participation in an honor's chorus. Like All City, our students who are in All District chorus must be willing to work independently in learning their parts as the music will not be taught during class. The pay-off is well worth the effort. This is truly a memory of a lifetime.
REHEARSAL: Parents must provide transportation to and from rehearsals. If you need help arranging transportation, please email me.
Lunch is served both days. If you have dietary concerns, please let me know. Students MUST BRING music folder, pencil, sports-top water bottle with name on it, and if you want to bring a few lifesavers,etc.. that is ok.. NO GUM! No phone usage/calls/texts, etc. are allowed during rehearsal- or I will take up phone and follow school policy. They are allowed to phone after rehearsal - but you will already be there to pick them up though.. so they don't really need it. PLEASE do not bring it. If they have an issue I'll be right there at the piano and I can text you or call you on break.
DRESS CODE FOR SATURDAY: Formal concert attire. This is "a big deal".
ALL CITY CHORUS-
Performance is held at the Sandler Center in the Spring. This is an exciting opportunity for our 6th and 7th graders to perform under the direction of guest conductors at a professional venue in front of thousands. Just ask any of our former participants- it is a memorable and positive event which the whole family enjoys.
All 6th and 7th grade chorus members have the opportunity to earn a spot in the All-City chorus. Students will be selected based on not only their musicianship skills, but also their consistent demonstration of proper vocal technique and behavior during our classes, Fall and Winter concerts. These students, like All-District singers, will be required to learn most of their music independently as we will not spend a great deal of class time on the material.
