Junior District Festival

The Eastern District Junior Music Festival includes students in grades 7-9 enrolled in their school music program orchestra, concert band, jazz band, or chorus.  Students interested in participating need to take part in a rigorous audition by a group of professional musicians in the field.  Students that have a successful audition will then receive the sheet music in the mail, which they should prepare ahead of the festival.  The festival includes two days of rehearsals with an accomplished conductor and a concert.  Choirs available in this festival are the Junior District Mixed Chorus (SATB) and the Junior District Treble Chorus (SSA).  This is a wonderful experience for serious young musicians and I will encourage all WMS singers to audition.

All students interested in auditioning will need to be registered through Ms. Connors, Mr. Adams, or Dr. Khanukaev.  Contact your ensemble director for details!

Auditions: Saturday, January 31 at Bedford HS.  We are not planning to offer a bus this year because it makes the audition fee almost $60.  Once we know who will be auditioning we can work on a carpool. The audition fee is $25.  Pre-Auditions with Ms Connors are on January 6 or 8 (after school and lunch auditions will be available) and the parent consent form and fee to register singers is due by January 16.

Festival: March 6+7, at Lincoln-Sudbury HS. Bus transportation from WMS will be provided on Friday 3/7.  The concerts are on Saturday 3/8.  The treble chorus concert is at 3 pm and the mixed chorus concert is at 4 pm.  Tickets will be available for pre-order and at the door.  The estimated cost of registration and bus transportation for the festival is $55.

SINGERS: MORE USEFUL INFORMATION FOR THIS YEAR'S AUDITION can be found on the Junior District Chorus google classroom. Ask Connors for the code!
