Chorale (previously known as Ensemble) is an auditioned choral group at N. A. Walbran Elementary. This group is for advanced singers that have a great interest in music. Students in this group rehearse on E-Days. They will be working on more challenging (and more fun!) music to perform for concerts. There may be opportunities for additional performances in the future as well.
Auditions will be held on Friday, September 13 at 8 AM. Students will be assessed on the following musicianship skills:
Vocal range
Pitch Matching
Rhythm Matching
Intonation (singing in tune)
There are no songs/materials that need to be prepared for this audition.Â
Within the first few days of school, all students in 4th, 5th, and 6th grades will be sent home with a form to sign up for chorus. This may be completed and returned by Thursday, September 12. If you would prefer a paperless version, you may sign-up using the Google Form linked here: OCSD Elementary Chorus Sign-Up Form.
