Glee Club

Glee Club is an auditioned group of singers in 5th grade. Auditions are held either during the second or third week of school and consist of pitch matching, singing in harmony, and a solo of the student's choice.

The Glee Club sings at both the winter and spring concerts, and has performed with the NJ Festival Orchestra on several occasions, the Women's Club of Westfield, and the Somerset Patriots game. They also go caroling at Brighton Gardens Assisted Living each December as part of their community outreach.

Thank you to all who auditioned this year! I'm proud of each of you for having the courage to try out. Unfortunately I couldn't take all of you, but just remember that you'll have many more opportunities to participate in our upcoming concerts. If you would like to know how you could improve for future auditions, please feel free to stop by my room and I will gladly discuss that with you.
