Concert Choi r 1-4 (grades 10-12) (1850)

Classwork and content are increased, and music demanding more maturity of voice quality and more refined musicianship are sung with attention to the improvement of music reading ability and understanding of mood, form and style in choral music.

Madrigal Singers 1-4 (grades 10-12) (1860)
The school's madrigal choir is made up of 16-28 advanced vocal students who are anxious to learn madrigals and other vocal ensemble music, which usually demands greater vocal maturity, precision and alertness. Ability to blend tone is even more important in this ensemble than in other choirs, and the development of vocal independence and musical sensitivity are emphasized. Members must be aware of the commitment to attend all rehearsals and programs scheduled by the director. Experience and skill required for this class is well above that of entry-level choir classes. Enrollment in a large choir is strongly encouraged as this class moves beyond the traditional realms of music. Therefore, a continued reinforcement of fundamental skills is essential. prerequisite: Successful audition and/or teacher approval.
