All-City Girls Chorus

LPS ALl-City Girls Chorus

The Lincoln Public Schools All-City Girls Chorus is an auditioned group of singers in grades 6-8. This ensemble of middle school treble voices sings a diverse array of repertoire, ranging from classical to contemporary choral to musical theatre. Throughout the course of the year, students are also provided various solo and small-group singing opportunities.

The All-City Girls Chorus rehearses weekly on Tuesdays during the regular school year, performing at least two annual concerts in addition to a tour of LPS Elementary Schools in early May. Students are expected to practice music on their own, as well as attend weekly ensemble rehearsals. This ensures that rehearsals may be run efficiently, allowing us to polish and prepare as much music as possible.

The LPS All-City Girls Chorus is committed to providing a meaningful musical experience for young singers from across Lincoln Public Schools. Our mission is to pursue excellence in choral music making and to develop our singers both as musicians and people. We believe there is great value in creating a welcoming space for young people to improve their voice and to connect with peers who love to sing. We work hard, and we have lots of fun!

AUDITIONS & Eligibility

We will hold auditions for the 2025-2026 school year on Tuesday, May 20 @ 6:00pm at Lincoln Southeast High School. Please enter on the North side (Van Dorn Street side) of the building. Signs will direct you to the choir room.

For auditions, students will be asked to sing the first verse of "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" as well as a short sight-singing example.

If you have any further questions regarding auditions, contact Hannah Lambert.

Lincoln Public School Music Extension Programs are an extension of the instrumental and vocal programs of Lincoln Public Schools. All students who wish to participate must meet both of the following requirements:

- Be enrolled in the Lincoln Public Schools District for 5 credits or the equivalent of one class for each semester of participation.
- Participate in a large ensemble within the music program at their school (LPS, Private, or Homeschool) that supports the instrument/voice part for which they participate in the LPS All-City Girls Chorus.
- Private or homeschool families looking to enroll their students as a part-time LPS student still need to apply for homeschool through NDE. Complete the LPS part-time enrollment form.

Join Google Classroom!

Students participating in the LPS All-City Girls Chorus should be sure to join our Google Classroom so that they have access to part assignments, rehearsal recordings, the practice points form, and important announcements throughout the year.

If your student does not know the class code, contact Hannah Lambert.

PRACTICE POINTS

As our group only meets once week, we have a very limited amount of rehearsals together before performances. If students come to rehearsals already knowing the majority of the words, notes, and rhythms, it allows us to spend rehearsal time teaching excellent vocal technique and perfecting the music, rather than simply teaching parts. It is IMPERATIVE that students are practicing on their own time; the success of our group depends on it.

Students can find practice recordings of their part and the Weekly Practice Record (Google Form) on the ACGC Google Classroom.
