Forecasting for next year is upon us. Auditions for next year’s choirs are being held during 1st and 2nd lunch on A Days and after school. Bring your friends to get involved.

Offering a remarkable performance that was full of passion, heart and refinement, Tigard Concert Choir placed 3rd at TRL Choir Festival, only four points behind Canby High School. Scores were 90-91-90.
Comments made included, “the performance was gutsy, ambitious and full of expressive line.” Other comments lauded the French diction, syllabic stress and release, dynamic range and the effective use of color, changing our tone for each song!
Thanks to our fine chaperones! So proud of our fine work today! STATE Choir Championships are May 7th at George Fox University. Details to follow…

Did you sing as a member of Concert Choir or Choralation over the last years? Do you know Carol of the Bells? If you do, come join us on stage as we sing it at the Holiday Concert on Thursday! Pass the word!
Thank you to all of you who tried out over the last week and a half. I had the privilege of hearing some very fine solos. I have chosen 6 solo acts for the Holiday Concert and 3 solo acts for the Grotto. There will be a run off on Monday for which of the 3 versions of “Have yourself a merry little Christmas” I will chose to round out the 6 for the concert. Again congratulations to the following:
