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!

New Rehearsal Tracks online

I've got "A World About to Turn" on the Chorale and Chamber Choir rehearsal track pages. Chamber, I also have "Walking in Memphis" full track. I'm working on making individual tracks.

Katie Armiger

I hope Chamber and Chorale enjoyed Katie's visit! I know I did. She should be sending some signed head shots back to us. I got the following note from her manager:

"She just called me and said your choir's version of the song was the best she's ever heard by a high school!! Y'all must have a great Vocal Music Director!! ...wink " ~Pete O'Heeron, President, Cold River Records

Here are a couple picture from the event. There will be more posted on our choir page. They will be sending a framed picture of the class with Katie back to us soon.

Katie's biggest fan.

Jeffrey and Nick creeping in the back.

Even Dylan's guitar got into it.

Eric Whitacre Virtual Choir 2.0

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is being good while I'm at all-state (yes, I mean you). Anyway, I didn't realize until 4th period yesterday that I had been telling all of my classes that the release of "Sleep" was last night, but it wasn't I hope no one stayed up waiting for it. Well...it was released tonight! It's amazing! I can't see me, but I know I'm in there someone (my name is in the closing credits). Here's the vid! Enjoy!
