Choral Activities
Sept. 1, 2020 At this time, chorus activities are suspended until further notice. But keep practicing at home!
April 1, 2020 Due to eLearning, I can't be with you to prepare you for chorus auditions. Hopefully these videos will help you prepare.
Part 2: Range (how high can you sing and match pitch)
Part 4: "America" while I sing harmony (for 5th graders interested in district and state honor choirs.)
BRYSON ELEMENTARY CHORUS
Rising fourth and fifth grade students audition for chorus in April and May during music class. MEMBERSHIP for 2019-2020 will be announced in August, 2019. [Update: My goal is to send emails to parents before meet the teacher night. I'm still waiting to confirm our calendar of performances.]
New students to Bryson may audition in the fall or whenever they start attending Bryson.
Chorus meets on Tuesday's after school from 2:30-3:40 from September through March.
Summer is a time for planning another GREAT year of singing! Our first rehearsal in September, 2019 as well as our performance schedule will also be announced in August. If you have questions about membership, contact Mrs. Coggins.
Mon., March 2 "Seussical Junior" for PTA Reading Night
Sat., April 25 Joint concert with Ellen Woodside chorus and the Fountain Inn Choral. This is a ticketed concert. CANCELLED
What a great year! In 2018-2019, we sang for the Fountain Inn Tree Lighting, performed the musical "Why Mosquitos Buzz," sang for The Springs Assisted Living, and will join the Ellen Woodside Elementary chorus and the Fountain Inn Chorale for a concert at the Younts Performing Arts Center in May. Thank you parents for supporting your child's choral interests. They are amazing!
