ACDA Invitational

The Chamber Choir was selected as one of the top choirs in the state of Alabama to perform at the ACDA Choral Invitational Festival in February. Selections are made based on applications that include recordings of the ensemble for the past 3 years, various programs performed during that time, and awards and accomplishments. This is the second year for us to be selected. The festival will be held at the Alys-Stephens Center at UAB. Chamber Choir members had best be ready to work hard for the first several weeks of school, as we must put together a 20-minute program to perform!

Several students auditioned and all did very well. Keep in mind that this ensemble is quite competitive, as we have to keep the voice parts balanced. If you auditioned and did not make it, don't give up! Many of you scored high, but seniority also has to be considered. I saw vast improvements in all of you - even to my own surprise! Thanks to all of you who auditioned; I know it is quite a stressful event! Keep learning and keep a good attitude and it will pay off.

Fall Concert Videos/CDs

Many of you ordered Videos/DVDs/CDs of the Fall Concert in October. I have delivered CDs to those who ordered, but there was a problem with the videos. The video recorder was not switched "live sound", so there was no sound on our video. After many attempts by our church sound guys to make the video sound better, there was no success. So, I took the CD recording (which was very good) and the DVD (with no sound) and gave it to a computer genius (by the name of Micah Loggins) to see if he could put the sound onto the DVD. He is a busy guy, and had to try many things, but has completed this daunting task this week. I will be sending these home this week. And, BTW, the Winter Concert will be recorded correctly, as I will make sure b/f the concert begins....

Choir members: Respond HERE!!

Since Mrs. Heron is apparently moving into the 21st century, let's see if her faithful students will follow....This will be a place of communication and information gathering. I will use it to post various info and things you might need. If you think you will benefit from this, reply to me and give me your thoughts.
