Fall Activities Updates

Hello Singers!

Play & Choir materials were handed out at the meeting yesterday. Please see one of the Presidents (Kevin Anderson, Maggie McWade, Bridget McGinty) to pick them up if you were unable to attend yesterday.

Audition/Placement sign up sheets are posted outside the activities office. Please sign up for a time for play auditions next Monday 9/20 (Jr/Sr) or Tuesday 9/21 (Fresh/Soph), or choir placements next Thursday 9/23 (all choirs).

Practice tracks for play auditions are available at http://abwchoir.bandcamp.com

Choir placements will include singing the National Anthem & a couple of vocal exercises to determine range & timbre.

Please be prepared & memorized for all auditions & placements.

For the Play: Please pick up a play audition form, fill it out & bring it with you to your audition.

For Choir: Please get a form from Maggie or Bridget if you were not at the meeting. You will need to bring it with you to your placement.

Schedules for both activities are posted below & update in real time. You must be available to attend all rehearsals. Absences will only be excused on a limited case-by-case basis.

Looking forward to making kicking music with you all!!! :) Work hard!

Summer Choir!

Hello My Lovely Singers!!

I hope you have all had/are having a great end of the year. Congratulations to all of the seniors on your graduation! :)

I am looking at doing another Summer Choir Week this year July 12-16, with the concert on July 16, so please let me know all of the following times listed below that would work with your schedules/transportation if you are planning to attend, or if you are unable to attend so that I can pick music based on the balance we will have. I will also consider running a women's choir AND a mixed choir at different times if that seems like it will work better for balance and your schedules, but that is not definite yet.

Possible Times:
10am-1pm
noon-3pm
1-4pm
2-5pm
3-6pm
4-7pm
6-9pm

Thanks for responding everyone! :) Hope to see you in July!

Oh - and for those students who are interested in auditioning for All Catholic Chorus next year (late October), the audition solos are:
He Watching Over Israel – Felix Mendelssohn (this will probably be an audition solo for Bucks County within the next 2 years)
&
O Clap Your Hands – John Rutter

The Bucks County Honor Choir (against the public schools) auditions will be Jan 22, 2011, and there is only one audition solo:
Sing Joyfully - William Byrd
You can print the PDF from the link below.

I will teach all three solos either before or after the choir rehearsals so we can get a jump start on them!

Please let me know if you would like me to copy the All Catholic pieces for you.
Thanks!
