Our Honors Chorus meets every Tuesday after school, unless we have a half day
of school. We end our rehearsal in time for students to take the late bus at
3:45 PM.
This ensemble will perform at our two scheduled concerts: January 20, 2010
and June 9, 2010. In addition, they will participate in the annual East
Brunswick All-District Choral Festival. This festival is a wonderful
opportunity for our students to perform for chorus members of other
schools in the district, as well as to combine all of the voices for the
grand finale. It's quite a thrill to sing with such a large chorus. Students
will work with a guest conductor, and leave the festival having had a
wonderful experience making music with some of East Brunswick's finest voices!
In addition to our Honors Chorus, students may audition to become a member of
the Central New Jersey Region II Intermediate Chorus. This group is comprised
of students from schools all over the Central New Jersey area, and rehearses
on Saturday mornings.
There is a $15.00 application fee for this audition (please make your check
payable to Hammarskjold Middle School SAF) I will take care of having Mr.
Gaskell sign the audition application. Auditions will be held November 21st
at Aberdeen Middle School. Student Audition times will be assigned by the
manager of the Region II Chorus, and students will be informed of their time
as well as given directions to the school. I will be available after school
to work on the audition music, and create a practice CD for those interested
auditioning.
If you have any questions regarding our Vocal Music program, please do not
hestitate to call, or send me and email. I will get back to you as soon as
possible.
I am looking forward to seeing you at our concerts!
Regards,
Miss Weiss
