It is difficult to find the time to update the blog, since rehearsals for High School Solo/Ensemble Contest are in full swing! 33 of our 70 choir students have CHOSEN to take on a solo and/or sing in an ensemble this year! We began rehearsing right after our Messiah performance in December, and are heading toward the memorization/polishing stages of our performances for S/E. Boys' Ensemble rehearses every Tuesday, Girls' Ensemble every Thursday after school, and 21 soloists rehearse either after the ensembles finish, or on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday after school! I am very pleased with the progress of each ensemble and soloist I am working with! I will post the results of S/E in another blog entry in a couple of weeks!
Congratulations also to junior Hannah Stroth, who was selected by audition to perform in the OMEA District 3 Honor Choir this Sunday at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center in Van Wert! Concert is at 3pm, and tickets are available for $5 at the door. Hannah was also chosen to be a part of a girls' trio featured in one of the choir's selections! Way to go, Hannah! I am looking forward to seeing the performance!
