Great Year

I just wanted to write a quick note to say congrats on a great year! As I've been saying in class, I've learned a lot about what I can change for next year. I hope that you've learned a lot as well. I can't promise how often I'll be able to update the website over the summer, but I'll try to post to the blog frequently. If you haven't become a "follower" yet, please do. That way, you'll be notified when I post something new. I'm going to have the Spring concert tracks up by tomorrow at the latest (maybe this evening). I don't know if I'll be able to get All-West rehearsal tracks on the website this summer, but keep an eye out. I'll post something here if I do.

Have a great summer!!

All-West music for the fall

The list has been posted for the All-West music for next year. I'll be trying to get some rehearsal tracks done this summer like I've done before. If you'd like to buy your own set of music to begin practicing, you can visit J.W. Pepper (Music Retailer) and order it.

Borders Tracks online

I have posted the audio tracks from the Borders performance from May 10. Click here if you'd like to listen. As soon as I have audio from the Spring Concert, I'll post that as well.

Borders Report

Chamber and Chorale had a great performance at Borders tonight. I thought very few things could have made the evening better. The "flash mob" worked really well. Thank you for your hard work! I look forward to the concert this Thursday.

2011-2012 Choir Roster

Here is the current roster for the 2011-2012 Chamber Choir, Chorale, and Women's Chorus. There may be changes to this by the beginning of next school year, but this is what I have selected base on the auditions. Thank you to everyone who sang for me. I'm looking forward to next school year. I have lots of new ideas for dealing with the size of Chorale, so look forward to that! If you don't see your name and think it should be here, please let me know ASAP!

Thank you!
