Choir Audition Results

Solo Audition Results

Everyone who auditioned today did an awesome job! This made it very hard for me to figure this out tonight. Because you guys did so well, I know that some may feel disappointment if not assigned a solo. Finding out audition results can be tough, but please congratulate each other at school tomorrow and keep your chin up. YOU WERE ALL GREAT! Better than I've ever heard!! Pics below are of the students warming up for their auditions. Lots to be proud of today. 

Again, here are the criteria that I was looking for. The results are posted below.

• You know all the words
• You can rap them with the correct rhythm and timing
• Good stage presence and energy (you look and sound excited...young scrappy & hungry, lol!)  

Congratulations! 

Solo 1 Alex

Solo 2 Nandana

Solo 3 Vincenzo

Solo 4 Elizabeth

Substitute Soloist #1 Ilayda (if someone is sick/absent) 

Substitute Soloist #2 Katie (if two students are sick/absent) 

Here is a video of the choir students singing in a beautiful acapella harmony to the ending of "Red Bird"

Dear Choir,

I posted a Google Drive folder I promised this morning. Click the link above for another way to access the folder. Please practice your choir music over Thanksgiving break. Remember solo auditions for "My Shot" will be during class Tuesday Nov 28. You will perform all 4 raps memorized in front of the class. You will use the performance track. If you have trouble accessing the "My Shot" track, please email me and I will try to get it to you another way ASAP. I will video record them and post the results on our blog. 

What I am looking for in your audition: 

• You know all the words
• You can rap them with the correct rhythm and timing
• Good stage presence and energy (you look and sound excited...young scrappy & hungry, lol!)  Good Luck

Happy Thanksgiving - I am so thankful to be your music teacher :) 

Halloween Post

Happy Halloween! 

I hope everyone had a great Halloween! Choir classes were exciting. We've been working on our own original compositions for about a week. Yesterday, we performed two of them for the band as a surprise, or "flash mob"! I took one video of the second period class. It was too long to post on the blog, but it is posted on my Twitter. Search @MrsWestMusic and check it out! 

Below are some pics from our class on Halloween. We enjoyed creating our own music and performing it in a creative way for the band classes. The band classes are going to treat us to a mini performance Friday which we are looking forward to!
