CHORUS AUDITIONS September 4-7, 2007
Dear Parents of Rising 3rd, 4th and 5th Graders,
The award-winning Eastvalley Eagle Chorus is auditioning for new members! The 2007-2008 chorus will rehearse every Tuesday afternoon from 2:30—3:30 PM.
The 2007-2008 Eastvalley Eagle Chorus has outstanding potential. If your child would like to audition for this acclaimed group, try-outs will be held beginning September 4, 2007 from 7:15-7:45 AM on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday morning and from 2:30-3:00 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons. Returning Eastvalley Eagle Chorus members are not required to re-audition.
The audition consists of intonation/pitch-matching skills, tonal memory, and singing one verse of the patriotic song, “America” demonstrating good tone quality, pitch and breath control. I have included the words to this song, and the music may be found on many websites including:

My country tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrim's pride!
From every mountain side,
Let freedom ring!
Good luck!
