GMEA All-State Chorus Round 1 Auditions
MANDATORY FOR BEL VOCE MEMBERS:
A new requirement has been added to the Bel Voce curriculum for the 2011-12 school year. Because each member in the advanced choir at Wheeler is a capable, individual singer, and in order to better prepare these students for future auditions/interviews (in music/life), all Bel Voce members will be required to participate in Round 1 GMEA All-State Chorus Auditions. Chorale and Spirito members are encouraged to audition as well, but are not required to do so. There is a $25 fee for this due at the MANDATORY Wheeler Choral Booster Kick-Off Meeting on Tuesday, August 30, 2011, in the WHS Auditorium. Details and audition requirements can be accessed at:
