17-18 SHOW CHOIR ROSTERS!

 

Thank you to everyone who auditioned!  All of you were prepared, professional, and did a fantastic job.  We had around 130 students audition, which leads to hard decisions.  Unfortunately, we couldn't take everyone.  If you didn't make it this year - keep singing!  You have plenty of other opportunities ahead of you.

Social Media Disclaimer:  Please refrain from posting on social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, etc. about show choir placements, as this can lead to negativity and hurt feelings.  If it’s not nice or necessary, don’t post it!  Thank you in advance.

If you would like feedback about an audition, you may email Mrs. Nichols or Mr. Miller NO EARLIER than Monday, May 22nd.  Please take the weekend to carefully consider how you would like to present yourself in your email.

Thank you again, and great job!
