6th Grade Solos!

Great job everyone! I will just cut and paste the email I sent the entire faculty this afternoon:
I just wanted to share with you all a highlight of my day: We had solo auditions in 6th grade chorus and only a few kids signed up. Then they started encouraging each other and a TON of kids got brave enough to do it! The kids were super sweet and supportive of everyone, and seeing them all cheer for each other warmed my heart. If you see a 6th grade singer today, give them a high five. And a big thanks to amazing judge Mr. Fin!!

A nicely soulful, choreographed version:

You can hear a clip of the original quartet doing it on their cd here: https://www.cdbaby.com/cd/Vida2 Here's our arrangement, in the key we are singing in:

7th/8th Grade Solos

Great job, EVERYONE who auditioned- I was so thrilled to see so many new faces up there and so proud of all of you for your bravery. One of my personal goals for each of you is that at some point in middle school you will audition for something- whether you get it or not is less important than DOING it! Plus, it will make you more likely to go after the things you want in high school!
 I can't give you all solos, but I did give you all candy, so that's something.
Bravo! -Ms A

Concert Suggestions

Our winter concert, Dreams vs Crushed Dreams, is going to be an epic Battle of the Choirs, and unlike any concert we have ever done. The audience will get to vote, there will be a plot line,  Morgan thinks the 7th and 8th graders should wear all black. Anna wants to make a movie trailer. We're all going to  make posters for the audience to cheer on their choir.  What else? I don't even know. But you do! Put your suggestions in the comments!
