Dear Parents of 3rd, 4th and 5th Graders,
The award-winning Eastvalley Eagle Chorus is auditioning for new members this August! The 2011-2012 chorus will rehearse every Monday afternoon from 2:30—3:30 PM. Our musical will be Elfis and the Elves Get All Shook Up!
If your child would like to audition for this acclaimed group, try-outs will be held before and after school on the following dates:
August 29, 30, 31, Sept 1 from 7:10-7:45 AM;
August 29, 31, Sept 1 from 2:30-3:15 PM.
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!
