Auditions

Welcome back to school! Auditions for chorus and percussion ensemble will begin this week on Tuesday, August 30th in the music room. They will last until Thursday, September 8th.  If you are a 4th or 5th grader and would like to audition for these ensembles, come to the music room between 8:45 and 9:15 in the morning to audition.  Prospective chorus students need to prepare one song lasting no more than two minutes.  Please make sure that the lyrics of your song are appropriate for school.  Prospective percussion ensemble members will need to be prepared to read rhythms in 4/4 time including quarter notes, quarter rests, half notes, half rests, beamed eighth notes, and beamed sixteenth notes.  Audition results will be posted on the bulletin board on Friday, September 9th.  If you make it into either one of these ensembles, please stop inside of the music room to get your rehearsal schedule and rules and polices sheet.  I look forward to having a great year with our performing ensembles!
