At Middle School North there are
two choruses, 6th grade Surround Sound and 7th & 8th
ggrade Northern Lights. The
choruses perform in four concerts each year, required for all students.
The District 95 Choral Festival in October, Holiday Concert in December,
Winter Concert in March,
the
IGSMA
Organization Contest
in March (7th/8th grades only), and the Spring Concert in May.
In addition, students may choose to participate in Solo & Ensemble
Contest. Other opportunities
may present themselves during the year in which one or both of the
choruses participate.
The emphasis in chorus is on the
learning process--team building, individual
responsibility to the group, and performance.
