2011-2012 has come to an end- It was a great year!

Wow- what a month it has been!  A wedding, service learning day, Alturian Club performance, State Contest, IC performance, a mother's day recital, middle school concert, high school concert, exams, a karaoke party, and now tomorrow, GRADUATION!  It has been quite the busy month full of not only choir activities, but many many end of the year activities.  I am so proud of all of you and feel very blessed to have such talented and dedicated students.  We are finalizing dates for the 2012-2013 school year now, and they will be posted here soon on the choir blog.  I hope you all have an amazing and SAFE summer!  See you on August 22nd- that's the first day of school!  Check the facebook page for info on our high school choir August rehearsal/meet and greet for choir students in grades 9-12!  See you soon!

Celina Choirs were impressive at State Contest!

I am so proud to say that the Celina A Cappella Choir and Chamber Choir both qualified for state this year, and represented Celina VERY WELL!!  The A Cappella Choir, performing at state contest in class C for the first time under my direction, received a rating of Excellent (II), which is the second highest rating possible.  The Chamber Choir, performing at state contest in Class A (they qualified for state in class B last year), received a rating of Superior (I), the highest rating given.  Thank you, students, for your hard work, and thank you to our 9 chaperones that accompanied us on our hour and twenty minute ride to Van Buren High School!

Please join us for our Spring Choral Concert on Thursday May 17 at 7:30pm in the Ed Complex Auditorium.  The choirs will be presenting their State Contest music, as well as some fun, lighter music to end the year.  The senior choir members will also have the opportunity to share their plans after graduation.  We wish all of our seniors the best of luck as they pursue their college or military careers, or enter the work force!

A Cappella Choir 5/3/12- ready for state!!
