Crossroads North Music & Choir Connection

I hope everyone has had a relaxing summer. I have lots of great music planned for you this year!

Your first assignment was to log on to this site and book mark it. Congratulations, you found it! Next you must fill out a student information form with your parents. This will improve communications between home and school, helping you to keep current on all events, and requirements for Concert Choir and Vocal Ensemble.

Please click on the link listed under “BLOGROLL” on the right side of this page. The link is titled “Student Information Form”. Accurately fill out the form, then hit the “submit” button. Please remember to set up your email spam folder to allow mail from sbschools.org.

A list of new Vocal Ensemble members have been published in a previous post on June 22, 2010. If your name is not listed, your ensemble is called “Concert Choir” in the online information survey. If you were in Vocal Ensemble in 7th grade, choose both ensembles.

All students will be individually screened for voice placements during AP (2:26-3:05), the week of September 13-17th, 2010. Regularly scheduled rehearsals begin on September 20th.

I will post more information and activities on this site as the year progresses.

Take a listen to our progress so far. Ladies are doing a fine job with pitch and enunciation. Gentleman are not far behind. It falls apart a bit when we add stomps, claps, etc. It still needs a bit of work on the rhythmic precision. What do you think? Wait til we add the fiddles! (AKA violins). Nice job Miriam (piano)!
