Chorus

Concert Choir

This Program is open to all students who can sing and perform with a reasonable level of proficiency. Traditional choral works, including classical, semi-classical, gospel, folk, jazz, and pop are studied, rehearsed, and performed. The course strives to cultivate the fundamental principles of singing through the study of tone production, resonance, breath control, diction, and voice. Special emphasis will be placed on reading music and basic musicianship. Out of school time is required for occasional rehearsals and its traditional performances. In addition to its four major productions annually, the Concert Choir may also participate in festivals and other local performances. Advancement into Chamber Choir is encouraged.

Chamber Choir

Students interested in this course need to be able to accurately sing an unaccompanied musical line, as well as sight-read melodic and rhythmic passages. The course strives to cultivate perfect balance as it relates to musical blend and to further enhance one's vocal experience by rehearsing and performing a more difficult level of choral literature both accompanied and A Cappella. Students are encouraged to participate in various state and regional events such as NH All-State Festival. Out of school time is required for occasional rehearsals and its traditional performances. In addition to its four major productions annually, the Chamber Choir may also participate in festivals and other local performances.
