MMS Choir - Please click on the Google Form for MMS Choir Auditions.
Our rehearsals will typically be Monday for Group I and Wednesday for Group II. This activity runs for 7 months, with a concert in December and a concert in March. Singers are expected to sing at both concerts.
In order to sing in one of the groups, I’ll need to hear your child sing a bit to learn more about their voice. Our CHOIR AUDITIONS ARE SCHEDULED for Sept 12th or 14th. Space is limited for each day and your child needs to audition ONLY ONE DAY. Your child will sing a simple song alone and with a few other singers. Sign-ups will close when we have reached spacing limits and audition day #'s will be limited to 30 students. Late buses will be provided, or you may pick up your child after they are finished singing. Should both days fill up, I will add another date during the week.
Your child may participate in any Fall, Winter or Spring sport and also sing in the choir. If your child has a practice for a sport on a choir rehearsal day he/she would attend the choir rehearsal and would be excused from the sports practice. If they have a home game on a rehearsal day, they would sing with me until 3:30 and then go to the game. If they have an away game on a rehearsal day they would be excused from my rehearsal. Singers are NOT PERMITTED to split with a club that meets the same day as a choir rehearsal.
I will post the list of singers in the choir on Friday following auditions, and also send out an email with details before our first rehearsal.
Because of the performing nature of my groups, NO LESS than 90% attendance is expected at rehearsals. The district's activity fee will cover the cost of this activity.
I look forward to meeting your child and hearing him/her sing with our choir at Marlton Middle School. If you have any questions, please email me.
