Singing Warriors

Students study many genres of music from significant historical eras in original languages as well as musical theatre and pop. In the process of preparing music, students develop vocal technique, aural skills, elements of expression, good rehearsal habits and stage etiquette. They experience exploring the musical language, developing music reading skills, and learning about various styles of music. The course includes participation in occasional community performances and concerts with a few possible after school rehearsals. It is important to note that students must be enrolled in an ensemble for the entire year in order to be eligible to audition for MMEA Northeast Districts or All-State festivals.

Students participating in Honors Concert Choir will enroll in the whole year and must complete one additional project, hold a student leadership position within the department, lead school sectionals/ensemble, and participate in an Honors Recital with two or more original or selected solos. Students electing Concert Choir do not need to elect the honors level until the class is in session.
