| From the Director |
| Welcome to the LHS Choral Department! By selecting
Mixed Chorus you have become a member of the musical family and tradition
of choral excellence at Lexington High School. As you sing in chorus,
you will find yourself challenged on many levels––intellectually,
emotionally, physically and musically, as you strive to recreate great
works of art. Each year, the vocal ensembles perform repertoire that
is both stylistically varied and of high musical quality. In return
I ask that you work as diligently as possible during rehearsals to
learn your parts, develop your voice, blend within your section, pay
close attention to your conductor, and sing concerts that are musically
sound and aesthetically pleasing. |
| |
| Students who are entering the music program for the
first time should be aware that being a member of chorus (or band
or orchestra for that matter) is different from being in any other
class. We perform. That being the case, your work is evaluated on
two levels––the process (rehearsal) and the product (performance). |
| |
| Many of the students who become involved in the choral
program remain for their entire high school careers, primarily because
being in a choral group is like being part of an extended family,
as there is a special bond that is created among people who make music
together. |
