Hello Fifth Grade Students and Families!
Auditions for the 5th grade Honors Chorus are going to be Monday, January 31st at 8:00am (before school) in Mr. Grimm's music room. Students should be dropped off at the car rider loop. The doors will be open from 7:50am - 8:00am. All fifth grade students are eligible to audition.
Honors Chorus is a select ensemble. We can pick three students to represent UES this year. Students who are chosen for this group will attend two rehearsals at Middletown High School (Wednesday, May 4th and Thursday, May 5th) and will perform with singers from all around the county in an evening concert on Thursday, May 5th at 7:00pm. In addition to these two rehearsals, honors chorus will have rehearsals with Mr. Grimm and Mrs. Albanetti before school and will be expected to work on their music at home. Transportation to the rehearsals and concert are not provided.
