Extra Singing Opportunities

Throughout the year, members of both choirs will have opportunities to participate in ensembles and events both locally and around the state. Members of the Singing Knights are heavily encouraged to participate in at least one of the following. Chorale members are expected to participate in as many opportunities as possible. Students registered in an Honors designated course are required to audition for All-State, participate in FAU Honor Choirs, participate in Solo & Ensemble Event, participate in All County Chorus, and perform at the Solo & Ensemble Concert.

More information about these events will be distributed in the coming weeks. Please be alert and refer to Remind or the Chorus website for more information.

Community Ensembles

With all the talented musicians in South Florida, there will be various opportunities for high school students to pursue ensembles sponsored by the communities. These community ensembles provide a great deal of extra support and collaboration with fellow student musicians. As information is released about such ensembles, I will post the information within the classroom and on Remind.
