Uintah High Choir Family,
Whew! We’ve been doing this for a month. Although I’m disappointed that we won’t meet before school’s done for the summer, I am glad to have some clarity for the end of the school year. I’m excited to bring back “I See Colors”. It’s a beautiful song and will be a nice ending to our year. Work hard on it so it will sound just as amazing as if we were all rehearsing together.
End of Year Plan – Spring Virtual Choir Concert
Now that we know we will not be meeting again this year, we are going to slightly change directions. Here are the plans:
- We will no longer be working on “Calling All Dawns”. We will save it for another year. L If you have a previous “Calling All Dawns” related assignment you should still finish that assignment.
- We will have a Spring Virtual Choir Concert live on Zoom, hosted by me. I hope to the premier the virtual choir videos we have been working on and to announce the choir awards. The date is TBD, but it will be sometime in the final two weeks.
- The next 3 weeks we will be relearning “I See Colors” and submitting audio files for a combined choir virtual performance. Many of you might remember we learned most of it at the beginning of the year, but we didn’t perform it.
