Varsity Choir
We will be leaving the school at 9:30 on Wednesday, March 30 for UIL Concert/Sightreading. I anticipate being home by 4:30-5. Band students know we will be picking them up in Gilmer on our way to Texarkana.
All students attending need to make sure they have all parts of their formal wear ready for contest. Students who are not in band will go to first period, then meet in choir room to change and load the bus.
The choir has been working so hard to do our best. Friday, they worked with Dr. Turner from Stephen F. Austin to polish their skills. He was very complimentary of our choir and I was so proud of them!
Middle School
7th/8th Grade
We are sight reading now in three parts. They are doing a great job and ready to take the next step in developing these skills. We also have 5 songs we are working on and preparing for Spring Concert.
On Fridays, they are working on songs of their choice as we prepare for an amazing Talent Show.
6th Grade
We just started a unit on different composers. It comes with a fun musical. Some of the composers included are Beethoven, Bach, Handel, and Brahms. They are also working on little numbers of their own in groups, pairs, or even solo. I can’t wait to see how their creativity develops as they prepare for a chance to perform.
