Choir Show: Solo Auditions

Hey Everybody! Auditions for solos in the Choir Show ("Braveheart and Soul") are this Monday night starting at 6:30 in the choir room. If you would like to sign up for a specific time slot, go here: Choir Show Solo Auds. You can come just for your audition time, or stay for the whole thing. It should be a lot of fun.
As you can see, I have made a playlist of a lot of the most famous Motown songs. There are also lots of speaking parts and singing before we get to the Motown section, so don't be afraid to audition with a regular musical theatre song. There is plenty of that too. I will be emailing out more specific info about the characters etc in case you want to pick your song based on a specific character.
Almost all of the songs have lyrics posted online, and I have the sheet music to everything posted here, so don't feel you need to go buy sheet music. Just come and audition and have fun. You can audition alone, or as a duet or quartet is fine too.
Look for an email over the weekend with a plot synposis, character descriptions, etc.
Happy New Year!

Winter Concert on Youtube

Hey! I had a parent who was willing to film a lot of the Winter Concert onto my flip video camera. I made a playlist of all the songs I have, plus a few bonus videos from the recording session.
Enjoy!

Happy Holidays!!

Many thanks to everyone for all the extra effort these last few weeks. The CD sales were a super big hit, and the Chamber Singers concerts throughout our community were inspiring and very well received. It has been a tremendous effort on the part of a lot of students and parents, and I want you to know how much I appreciate it. I also really appreciate all the help with tour scholarships. To all the families that have found sponsors to buy ads and make donations, a very sincere thank you!
Now on to the holiday! Have a great break, and I look forward to 2011 and diving into the world of "Braveheart and Soul: The Birth of Moortown Music". I'll be sending out emails with audition info and song ideas, so look for those after the 25th.
Here's a little taste of your fantastic concert last night.
