If you enjoy using your voice to its fullest extent, then Poco Cantanti is for you!
Poco Cantanti is an auditioned vocal group for 3rd through 6th grade students. We perform at various school functions (Grandparents day performance, school performances, choral concerts, anthem at basketball games) and occasionally outside of school (Durham Bulls national anthem). Auditions are held in the fall to place students according to their singing range. Rehearsals begin each year in September and end in early to mid-May. A performance schedule will be given no later than September 15.
When a family commits to singing in Poco Cantanti, they are committing to before school practices on Tuesdays from 7:30-8:25. When there is a break or delay due to bad weather, we do not meet. Occasionally we will have a morning snack to give them a boost for the rest of their morning. :) Mrs. Vaughan chooses a wide range of musical styles. Students will have an opportunity to sing some classical, pop, folk, and contemporary styles. Diversity in music makes for a more well rounded singer.
Mrs. Vaughan will communicate through text and email. It is imperative that you give her your cell number so she can text in an emergency to let you know that a rehearsal is cancelled. Sickness happens unexpectedly. Please let me know if your singer is sick and unable to attend a rehearsal.
Dues for this group are $60 for the year and Durham Bulls tickets are provided for each of the singers. You will be sent an invoice from the school and are expected to pay this no later than Oct. 15.
