Sprague Area Honor Choir
Honor choir is made up of students that are in the Liberty choir. Yes, you have to be in the Liberty Spring Choir to be in Honor Choir. It is a 5th grade honor choir, but on occasion, there are 4th graders that make it into honor choir based off of their ability. I suggest all 4th graders who are interested, try out to get the audition experience and they will have a better chance of getting into honor when they are in 5th grade. Liberty will have up to 10 students admitted into honor choir. Not every student who tries out for honor choir will make it. Each of the 6 elementary Sprague feeder schools will admit 10 students into honor choir.
The Honor Choir is made up of students from the Sprague Area Elementary feeder schools: Battle Creek, Liberty, Salem Heights, Schirle, Sumpter, and Wright. The Honor Choir experience is rather brief, taking place in one week, culminating in a concert at Sprague High School (gym) on Thursday, March , 2023, 7:00pm.
Students who would like to participate in honor choir will audition for Miss Ryan and be evaluated on pitch, rhythm, attitude, and behavior. Students will sing, ‘My Country ‘Tis of Thee’ and clap some rhythms for their audition. Students who are selected will be notified by a letter home after their audition.
Auditions will take place after choir or at recess on the dates below. Students will sing by themselves for Miss Ryan. If students or parents do not feel comfortable with their student singing alone with Miss Ryan, then they may have one friend or parent sit in the room with them during the audition.
Auditions:
Pick one audition time from the following times:
Monday, January 30th after choir 3:00-3:30pm
Wednesday, February 1st before school 8:15am-8:45am

5th graders in band and orchestra will not have the after choir times to audition due to band and orchestra, so they will have to audition Wednesday morning or make an appointment with Miss Ryan. There will be no recess audition times because I am teaching during recess.

You can practice the audition piece at home. Only sing the first verse (top line only).
If singing a patriotic song is against your beliefs you can still try out for honor choir, please let me know and I will find an alternative music selection. Click the link below to practice along with a recording of "My Country tis of Thee." |
