IMEA District 1 Junior Chorus

Audition information for the Illinois Music Educators Association District 1 Junior Chorus has now been posted on the Documents and Forms page of this site.  You will need Adobe or another PDF viewer to view it.

The District Chorus is made up of select students, grades 6-8, from the Chicagoland area who have auditioned.  The audition process consists of singing portions of 2 of the district pieces, the patriotic selection (My Country 'Tis/America), and answering some musical questions.  Auditions last about 10 minutes and will be held on October 2 at Summit Hill Jr. High in Frankfort.  Students who score high enough are selected to participate in the 1-day IMEA Music Festival Saturday, Nov. 6 at Lincoln-Way North also in Frankfort.

Both the festival and audition process provide great experience in building confidence and musicianship.  To sign up for auditions and get working on music, talk to Mr. Tatina (ttatina@d107.org).  Rehearsals will be after school starting the second week of school, days TBD.  Deadline for signing up is September 15.

I highly encourage this rewarding experience!
