BELLA VOCE WOMEN’S CHOIR

Credit: 1 Unit/Fine Art/Year

Bella Voce Women is the most advanced treble ensemble that produces and performs several concerts annually. On top of all the concerts, the group makes appearances for many community events and fundraisers. This ensemble represents SHS at the State Music Festival each spring where they are rated by a panel of judges. Singers are vocally challenged through advanced level of singing and complex harmonies from choral music from Medieval Period up to Twentieth Century atonal compositions. Singers learn to work in small groups (sectionals) and become leaders within the group. Singers also get many chances to work with professional conductors and guest adjudicators throughout the country.

Students must maintain an “A” or “B” choir average and may not have more than one “F” in classes. This is a performance based class­­. All students will be expected to attend outside concerts and performances. They must audition each April for the next school year.

PREREQUISITES: 9-­12 grades after audition
