Students were given an opportunity to sign up on the sheet outside A4 if they were interested in auditioning the MS Vocal Ensemble and are planning on attending the meeting.
Students went over the audition material for the MS Bergen County Choir found here on our website.
Students were to be prepared and have the following materials in class – a pocket folder or a 1/2″ binder or a section in a larger binder; 25-50 sheets of looseleaf paper, 2 pencils, 2 pens (black or blue only). Students were told that they are to keep a pencil in their folder at all times. Sheet music should only be written on with pencil – no pens allowed on sheet music.
Students were given a tutorial on numbering measures in their music. We numbered the measures in Peppermint Winter as an example. Students were told to number the measures in their other songs (if they haven’t done so already) for homework.
Students did sight reading lesson 1 rhythm exercises 1-4 in class. Students in both band and choir should read pages 4-9 in their Sing at First Sight books for homework.
