TPSMEA Middle School Teachers!

 

Here are the cuts that you will be recording for our 2011 Middle School Honor Choir auditions:

Gloria (Haydn)

Piano begins m. 26, b. 1

S.,A., T. sing  m. 28, b. 1

Bass sing m. 29, b. 1

All singers stop singing m. 55, b. 2

 

O Lord Our God

Piano begins m. 15, b. 4

Alto and Bass sing m. 17, b. 4

Tenor sing m. 18, b. 2

Soprano sing m. 19, b.

Everyone sing through m. 27 double bar

 

When you record the auditions, record them in this order:

Track #1  Gloria

Track #2  O Lord Our God

Track #3  Student’s information: 

  • Student’s Name
  • Student’s Voice Part
  • Student’s School
  • Student’s Region

 

THE SAME INFORMATION GOES ON THE AUDITION CD ITSELF – AND ON THE CD JACKET OR JEWEL BOX!

 

If you intend to enter students in the Middle School Honor Choir Auditions you must:

  • Be sure you are paid up from last year
  • Have paid your membership fee
  • Register your student[s] on Solochair [Registration is now open!] and pay the registration fee [$16 per student]. Deadline is Oct. 4. [NOTE: BE SURE TO REGISTER YOUR STUDENT AS THE VOICE PART FOR WHICH THEY ARE AUDITIONING!!! A student may sing Soprano in your choir, but may audition as an alto. Register her as an ALTO!]  And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE register all your students at the same time! It creates a blizzard of paperwork if you enter them all on different days!
  • Have the “official” Audition Accompaniment CD.  Joel is sending those out this week.
  • Be sure you can attend the MSHC auditions or pay for a proxy.
  • Have the audition cds in my hand by 11:59pm on Friday, Oct. 7 [NOTE: UPS and Fedex do not deliver at my school after 11am on Fridays! Think ahead. Region 3 folk are free to hand deliver your cds if you wish.]

 

Reminder: A student may record as many “takes” as the director will allow (many teachers take the best out of 3 attempts.)

A teacher may “direct” a student as he/she sings, but may NOT make any audible contribution to the recording, NOR ENHANCE the recording in any way!

 

The online AND “in hand” deadline for CD’s is Thursday, October, 13th.
