2024-25 Choral Program

All are welcome! No experience necessary for Mixed Chorus, which rehearses Mondays, 5-7:30 p.m. You just need to have the desire to sing and the time to dedicate to our rehearsals and you will make it into this choir. Please sign up for a 10-minute slot on one of the two days. All choir members must sign up for a slot, even if you have been in SI Choir before. Voices change over the summer! I want to make sure you are placed in the correct voice part. 

For Chamber Singers, these two choirs meet before school, two days a week each from 8 to 8:50 a.m. Limited students are accepted and prior choral/singing experience is required. If you are auditioning for one of our Chamber Choirs, you will need to complete a sight singing prompt at the end of your audition time

All singers will participate in simple vocal warm-ups and must prepare a 30-60 second a cappella piece in any style to sing for Ms. Gomes. Choose a song that shows your voice well. 

For NEW choir members: Monday, Aug. 19, 3-6 p.m. 
For RETURNING choir members: Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2-6:30 p.m. on ZOOM
