Spring Concert and Awards - May 13, 2010
The annual Spring Concert was a great success. All 5 choirs performed well, and ended the year on a high note. It was a sad farewell to the senior class, which will move on to many top colleges and universities, and professional lives starting almost as soon as graduation day arrives.
Year End Awards were also handed out near the conclusion of the Spring Concert. The Awards for the 2009-2010 Year were:
Congratulations to all the award winners, and to all Chorus Members. It's been a great year!
District MPA a success! March 20, 2009
On March 19th, the Concert Choir and Varsity Singers participated in the annual Music Performance Assessment (MPA) for Choruses, hosted by the Florida Vocal Association, at Dillard High School. The Choirs performed 2 songs each and were judged on an extensive list of performance standards. Additionally, both choirs "sight-read" music, to demonstrate their technical musicianship. Both the stage performance and the Sight Reading were adjudicated by judges who have achieved high standards of musical performance and education throughout their careers. Congratulations to all students who participated, and made this a memorable experience for all.
