Welcome to Odessa HS Choir

More on Odessa HS Choir

The Odessa High School Choir program has a long history of choral excellence. We are comprised of four distinct choirs: Chorale (varsity mixed), Bel Canto (varsity women), Dominante (varsity men), and Bella Voce (non-varsity women). Broncho Legacy is our pop ensemble that performs for different events in our community and puts on two shows each year.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Broncho Legacy Auditions

Broncho Legacy auditions have been scheduled for Monday, August 3. A Sign-Up Genius was sent out by Remind to our current members of Chorale. A student must be a member of Chorale to audition. Students must come prepared to sing a solo with a karaoke track. Please send the karaoke track to Mrs. Storey by Sunday, 8/2. You can email this to her at ginger.storey@ectorcountyisd.org.

Callbacks will be announce via Remind and Google Classroom. Students that are on this list will need to make arrangements to come back on Tuesday, August 4, 2-4 pm. More details will be given once the callback list has been released.

Choir in These COVID Times

Yes! We will have choir! It will look different than in years past, but we are going to have choir. We will be livestreaming our classes via Zoom so on the days that you are learning from home, you can still "come" to choir! We will also have before and after school rehearsals that you can come to even if it's your "at home" day or if you are doing all of your classes virtually. We just have to be vigilant to maintain social distance of 6 ft or more (especially while singing) and properly wear a mask. We will take frequent breaks. We will likely do more studying of the music and/or composers which does not require singing. We will also have instructional videos on demand for extra help.

I hope this encourages you as much as it encourages your directors! We look forward to seeing you!

All-State Packets Available

We have All-State packets available for pick up in the choir office. If you would like to get started on learning the music, please contact Mrs. Storey and she will give you instructions on how to go about getting that music. Tracks are available on our Google Classroom - All-State Preparation. Chorale students have already been invited to this class but if you are new to the OHS Choir or are not in the Chorale, please contact Mrs. Storey and ask her to invite you to the class. You will receive your invitation in your ecisd.school email.
