Celina Middle School Choirs dazzle the audience and look ahead to Solo/Ensemble contest in two weeks

On Tuesday March 15th, the Celina Middle School choirs shared a concert with the middle school bands at the middle school gym. The groups performed to a packed house, and were poised, confident, and sang wonderfully!

Now, the MS groups are focusing on preparing for Solo/Ensemble contest, which will be held Saturday April 2nd at Minster Middle School. This year, the choir program is taking 22 vocal solos, and 8 vocal ensembles, up from just 10 or so solos last year (no ensembles). Of the 100 students in the middle school choir program, 65 are participating in solo/ensemble contest. This is a great experience for middle school students to perform in small groups and/or as soloists; many will be doing so for the FIRST time in their lives! Solo/Ensemble contest is a free public event. I encourage parents and families of the participating students to come over to Minster to see their student perform. We will be taking busses to Minster. Students needing bus transportation will need to arrive at school at 6:40am for a 6:50 departure. The bus will return to Celina Middle School soon after 4pm that day.
