Solo and Ensemble

This week is going to be a tough week for Chorale. Everyday gets harder and harder as we prepare for State this saturday at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Ms. Rohwer pushes all of our skills to the limit. Before class we sight read music, which means we take a new piece of music and learn how to sing it in less than five minutes. Its a very hard skill to learn, but after being drilled all year, It has gotten easier and easier for all of us. Part of what we are going to be doing Saturday is sight reading music at an advanced level. There are different levels that each choir will read from, including beginning and intermediate. Advanced is the hardest level. It really shows each of the choirs experiences. The other part that we are going to be doing Saturday, is singing two pieces that we have prepared. A song called Ave Maria and a series of hungarian pieces which count as one song. A couple of the members in chorale are competing as soloists. Nichole Kirksey, Alyson Snyder, Savanah Lentz, and Brittany Millham are all soloists. Come and support your fellow classmates in Grand Rapids. They are going to need all the support they can get. GO LAKESHORE!
