HS Choir Students are busy this fall!!

As the end of October draws closer, the choir students of Celina HS are gearing up for their upcoming Evening of Motown performance!  Music of the Temptations, Supremes, Four Tops, Martha and the Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, and more will be performed in the Ed Complex Auditorium on Fri. 11/9 and Sat. 11/10.  Presale tickets are available at the cost of $5 (the charge for tickets will help offset the production costs of music, instrumental combo, and choreographer, as well as expenses for the upcoming Messiah performance).  All seats are general admission.  Tickets will be sold at the door for this performance at the cost of $8.

The Celina choirs also had the pleasure of hosting the Ohio Northern University Mens Chorus for a special "during school" performance in the choir room Tuesday October 16th!  It was a great experience for the students to hear/see a college level chorus perform!  Dr. Ayling, ONU director has offered to return to Celina to do a clinic with our choir students, likely sometime in February.

Another important upcoming date is the HS choirs' first Messiah rehearsal, which will take place in the choir room on Sunday 10/28, 3-4:30pm.  These Sunday rehearsals will continue until the Messiah Performance, scheduled for Tuesday 12/11 at St. Paul's Church.  The choirs at Celina have been performing selections from Messiah annually for over 25 years.  The students look forward to singing this music!!

An article about the Celina HS choirs' upcoming activities should go to press in the Daily Standard today, Thursday 10/18/12.  Check out the article if you can!
