Music
Music is by digital delivery this year. All parts should be printed and in a black folder for the festival. Students should learn their voice part to the music before they arrive at the honor choir. We will provide a part practice track for their assistance.
Treble: Missa Illumina (Rossow)- SSAA
Mixed: Magnificat (Vivaldi)- SATB
ATTIRE for Concert
Also new this year- concert attire will be the Festival shirt and solid pants (black, navy, khaki or nice- no holes- denim). We hope this change will smooth out the evening and mean less storage.
Teachers and Chaperones
Each school/organization must have at least one chaperone registered and in attendance throughout the honor choir. The chaperone may be the teacher/director. Please follow your organization’s/school’s and county’s chaperone guidelines.
