A Question for Salina Honors Choir Students…..
Posted on by

If I were to remove one of your honors Choir concert selections and give it to a 5th grade class which song would you like to give to them?  I have added a new song to your concert list which I think you will really like.  It is titled, “To Swing or Not to Swing”.  If we sing this one then we can drop one or two other songs.  The song or songs we drop will give me an option to give one to a 5th grade group.  Send me comments on this blog post so I know what your desires are.  🙂

 

Concert preparations are underway….
Posted on by

Our Spring concerts are just around the corner.  We are all working hard in preparation for these two events.  Students in grades 1, 2 and 3 will be performing at the end of March and grades 4 and 5 will perform in May.

Check out our 3rd graders preparing Orff Orchestrations for the Big Black Fly song and story.

Here we are using “body percussion” to learn the part:

In this video we are demonstrating the proper way to remove bars from the instruments:

After much practice we have a chance to play the ostinato on the instruments:

Honors Choir at Salina Intermediate
Posted on by

Students who were able to stay for our rehearsal this afternoon had the pleasure of participating in a group photo shoot.  Here is a direct link to the photo: Honors Choir

If you were not able to join us today plan to come to rehearsal next Wednesday.  If I have my camera with me I might take another photo.  We do have a concert coming up very quickly and we have a lot of new music to learn.  It is in your best interest to plan to attend all of our Wednesday after school rehearsals.
