Fall 2019 Ensemble Auditions

         Auditions for the Forestville Road Chorus and the Forestville Road Percussion Ensemble will be held from Tuesday, August 27^th, 2019 to Friday, September 6^th, 2019 in the music room.  Students can report to the music room between 8:45 and 9:15 to have their auditions in the morning.  For chorus auditions, students should be prepared to sing a song of their choice that lasts no more than 3 minutes.  Please make sure that the song your child sings is school appropriate and does not contain any profanity or lewd content.  For percussion auditions, students should be prepared to count and play rhythms in 4/4 time containing quarter notes, eighth notes, quarter rests, and beamed sixteenth notes.  Students who pass the auditions will be notified of their acceptance into the chorus or percussion ensemble on Friday, September 6^th, 2019 with a letter. 

           If your child would like to be in the ukulele ensemble, he or she will need a soprano ukulele.  Soprano ukuleles can be purchased at the music stores listed below or online.  The first rehearsal for this club will be held on Tuesday, September 10^th, 2019 in the music room at 8 a.m.  At that time, your child will receive a rehearsal schedule and a copy of the rules and policies that govern the ukulele ensemble.  If you have any additional questions, please contact me at ssanders@wcpss.net.  I am looking forward to an exciting fall semester with our FRES ensembles.
