All experience levels are welcome!  Even if you’ve never sung in a group before or haven’t sung since 1st grade, you can still enjoy participating in a high school choir.  Here are a few reasons:

 

§        Many successful people in our world cite music as a memorable high school experience.

§        You will develop critical life-long skills such as CHARACTER, SELF-ESTEEM, SELF-CONFIDENCE, LEADERSHIP SKILLS, EXPRESSION, SELF-DISCOVERY AND PERFORMANCE SKILLS.

§        The Arts are also a great “Resume Builder” for those of you who are college bound or who will enter the work force after graduation.

 

There are many who have a large academic load and still participate in Chorus.  It can be done easily, especially at MCHS.  The BLOCK schedule is good for this because you have so many elective slots spread out over the course of your high school career.  You can sing and still explore all your other interests.

 

Middle School Tryouts for the 2007-08 choirs will be held at Middle Creek High in the chorus room on:

§        March 12, 13, 15, 16, 19, and 20 after school from 2:30-4:00 PM. Contact me at MGilliam@wcpss.net  or 773-3889 to schedule a time on any of these days.

 

You do not need to prepare any music in advance for this tryout.  All you need to do is show up.

 

Sincerely,

Mike Gilliam

MCHS Choral Music Director
