Chorus Registration: 2021-2022

For the 2021-2022 school year, we are looking forward to being back to a NORMAL in-person chorus experience! Here are some details:

First, here's a video on why to take chorus at Panther Creek!

 Chorus Promo Video: 2021-2022

1) If new to Chorus at Panther Creek (incoming Freshman or grades 10-12 who haven't taken high-school level chorus), watch the following info video for some basic details: Intro about Chorus at Panther Creek

2) Mixed Chorus (Vocal Music 1) requires no auditions/placement required; meets for just 1 semester (Fall). Focuses on learning how to sing better, how to read music, exposure to different types of musical repertoire and cultures, and some basic music theory. See registration number below.

3) For Treble Voices and Chamber Choir:

a. For any treble voice (soprano or alto) that HAS completed Mixed Chorus but not yet taken the pd. 3 Treble Voices class, you can sign up without any audition! Select the Vocal 2 course codes, as posted below.

b. For singers who have NOT taken Mixed Chorus (Vocal Music 1), an easy chorus placement audition is necessary.

c. Placement auditions will be ONLINE this month and will consist of the following:

• Online application form, available at: Audition Request

• Prepared song: Audio Sample: I Vow to Thee My Country (note-- though the melody is presented here, aspects that reflect musical phrasing, appropriate tone, word stress, etc. are not necessarily evident but SHOULD BE during your audition;

  • Sheet Music: I Vow to Thee: Unison

  • Recording to practice with and for use during the live online audition: I Vow to Thee My Country: Piano Accompaniment; Includes 4 measure introduction

• Easy sightsinging with solfege; the following resource may be helpful in practicing for this: Sightsinging Practice Video

4) Once you have established a time for your placement audition, use the following link to meet with me online: Meet for Placement Audition.
