Choirs

you are not familiar with what Show Choir is, and the amount of time and work ethic you need, then you are in for a big surprise. Show Choir has evolved over the past years increasingly. Forget the young men and women in dark jackets and dresses standing on old risers and singing nice choral pieces. Show Choir has become a mini-musical sport.

and I am learning to play the piano. I am a section leader in choir and band, and I have a lot of knowledge about music theory and choral music. Music is a big part of who I am, and that is why I chose this topic as my project. I also plan to pursue this as a career in the near future, and I feel that this project will help me to prepare for the many requirements this career holds. For my paper, I plan to research the occupation of a choir director. I will research the education requirements, salary

The Mount Eden High School Concert Choir that performed at the First Presbyterian Church were truly astonishing. This concert took place on May 4th at 7:30 PM.The director of this choir is Ken Rawdon, and he has been teaching the choirs at Mount Eden High School for a long time. This choir is a high school choir, and they are one of the best choirs in the state. They even have gotten 1st place at Golden State numerous times!

apart of society since the beginning of time. Before a structured choir existed, people would gather together and sing chants. Music notes or sheet music were not relevant. All that was need back then was a conductor and willing participants. 21st century choir music has evolved drastically. Now, choir music can range from two to twenty-six page compositions.

Throughout my youth, I have had experiences which have been very meaningful to me, however, there is one that stands out from the rest. I have been part of the Madison Youth Choirs (MYC) for seven years now. The choir is an auditioned choir for people ages seven to eighteen. I am in the highest choir, Cantabile, with conductor Mike Ross. I love being a part of MYC because our conductors focus on learning, not just performing. The conductors choose many different pieces, from a victory chant from

I went to my sister’s high school choir concert. I went in expecting them to be terrible but I was pleasantly surprised. There were several different choirs and they sang a range of Christmas songs. Some were definitely better than others but they were all decent. The choir teacher chose a lot of songs in other languages. Some of those languages included were Latin, Spanish, Swahili, and Hebrew.

Show Choir The road to show choir nationals was a long struggle with many roadblocks. There were many times when I dreaded going to rehearsal, and when I got there, I just wanted it to be over so I could leave. Show choir started to feel like a chore to me and I didn’t enjoy it like I did last year. That is, until March 31st. We started learning our show choir songs at the end of August, rehearsing every day after school for an hour. Then during the last two weeks of September, both show choirs

aspects of my life that have lead me to become the person I am now. Choir has been my saving grace and my life would be nowhere near the same without it. I was placed in choir in junior high by mistake, and six years later, this mistake led to an audition that might very well have saved my life. I grew up performing.
