I can nominate 5 women and 5 men from Classics to participate in the IL ACDA Honor Show Choir! This is an opportunity to be in a show choir with the best performers in the state!
Here's the info! Let me know if you'd like me to nominate you to audition for this! IMPORTANT DATES:
What's the financial responsibility for selected students? Last year the participation fee was $125/student, and we are doing our very best to keep it as close to that number as possible. The cost covers: the honorarium for our fantastic choreographer, and amazing vocal clinician, music packets, costume cleaning, and honorariums for the possible professional instrumental combo members who will possibly accompany the group in concert. Students will be responsible for their own meals. There are MANY options within driving distance of Wheaton North High School. There is a wide variety for everyone. How does the selection process work? The vocal audition is pretty straight-forward. For the dance, I will e-mail out a link to an unlisted YouTube video of someone teaching/performing a short combination as we did last year. Auditioning students will need to learn the combination by watching this YouTube video and then record themselves performing the combination as part of their video audition. I will also e-mail them an mp3 of the audio clip they will need to perform the dance to. The video auditions will be judged by a panel of eight high school show choir directors. This process will be set up so that no director will evaluate any students with which they are personally associated. As part of the process, students will be assigned an audition number to identify themselves and are asked not to use their name or school name in any way in their video audition (this means t-shirts, anything in the background, etc,) Details will be e-mailed to students and directors once the online audition registration has closed. TENTATIVE/PROPOSED SCHEDULE This is a pretty rigorous schedule, but this experience is designed for our most driven and hard-working students! Students will arrive with all music already prepared and memorized. Thursday, October 20 3:30 PM Registration 4:00 - 6:00 PM Rehearsal 6:00 - 7:30 PM Dinner Break 7:30 - 9:30 PM Rehearsal Friday, October 21 8:00 - 11:30 AM Rehearsal 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM Lunch Break 1:00 - 5:00 PM Rehearsal 5:00 - 7:00 PM Dinner Break 7:00 - 9:30 PM Rehearsal Saturday, October 22 8:00 - 11:30 AM Rehearsal 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM Lunch Break/Change into Costumes 1:00 - 2:30 PM Dress Rehearsal 3:00 PM Honor Choir Concert Please read the note below from the Beering's:
