Hello, Lake Ridge singers! I am excited about starting a new school and a new year with all of you. Starting a new choir program, establishing traditions, setting a standard of excellence – it is going to be a terrific experience. I can hardly wait to meet the incredible Eagle singers and start our journey together.
Two Questions
- We have our first performance opportunity on SUNDAY, AUG. 19 at 2:00 pm. We have been asked to sing the “Alma Mater” for the school dedication! Of course, we would have to learn it (and I need to write it!) so we would need to set up some time for anyone who can be a part of this event to meet and rehearse that week. To find out who can participate, I have set up an online survey at the link that follows. Please click the link and answer the questions:

- With eight classes on the schedule this year, there may be space in the day for some of you to take a second choir class. I give a short description of classes that we might offer below. Let me know if you have further questions. Possibilities could include…
- An applied music class – Students would work on TMEA audition music and UIL Solo-Ensemble selections as well as other music in small groups and individually.
- Show Choir – Ensemble of students would sing and choreograph pop and musical theater selections. Auditioned.
- Jazz Choir – Ensemble of students would learn and perform vocal jazz – both accompanied and a cappella. Auditioned.
- Chamber Choir – A select group of advanced students learning madrigals and similar styles of music. Auditioned.
Again, I have set up an online survey to find out how much interest there might be in any of these possibilities. Visit the link below and let me know.
