Monday Night Rehearsals
There will be a mandatory Monday Night Rehearsal for students that are members of the Varsity Men (Dominante & Chorale) and Varsity Women (Bel Canto & Chorale) each week that school is in session until UIL Concert & Sight Reading Evaluation has passed.
Varsity Women
6:30-8:00 pm
Varsity Men
7:00-8:30 pm
Varsity students that are virtual and not coming to in-person rehearsals will be given an asynchronous assignment to complete to make up their weekly participation grade and Monday Night Rehearsal grade.
We will also have clinicians on Monday, March 29, to work with our students. We have Mr. Chris Jorns from Lubbock HS coming to work with our varsity men and Dr. Carolyn Cruse from Texas Tech University coming to work with our varsity women and our non-varsity women. The following is our schedule:
Bella Voce, 2:05-2:55 (classtime) & 5:00-5:45 (after school)
Varsity Women & Varsity Men, 6:30-8:30 pm (extended MNR)
We have not planned a clinic for Chorale yet. We will list that as soon as we have it on the calendar.
