Missing my Choir family!!! https://youtu.be/FQh4dAJxHR0

Here is a Treble (SSA) arrangement of one of our Festival pieces, O Love, by Elaine Hagenberg, We sang this in SATB for our Festival and earned a Superior! I think you will enjoy this choir’s performance as well!

So in 7th period today we did a lot of self/peer-evaluation, and listening to our adjudicators’ remarks from Festival, and then we decided should just have a little fun! Mrs. T is in the middle, trying to remember the moves #TikTok #NMSChoirs #wearefamily #havefunwithyourstudents #sorryitssideways

What a FANTASTIC day we had at the CMEA FESTIVAL! We worked so hard to perfect these pieces, with all the proper vocal techniques, articulation of foreign language, stage presence, complex harmonies....and all our hard work paid off, because we got a SUPERIOR rating!!! #SuperiorSingers #welovetosing #CMEA #NMSChoirs #wearefamily #memoriesmade
