Choir
High school choir is like being part of a tight-knit family where harmony isn't just about singing notes but also about sharing laughter, support, and unforgettable moments. Picture this: voices blending in perfect sync, creating magic that resonates through the halls and touches hearts. From belting out show tunes to mastering intricate harmonies, every rehearsal is a journey of musical discovery and camaraderie. Whether you're a seasoned singer or just finding your voice, choir is a place where everyone's unique sound adds to the symphony of sound. It's not just about hitting the high notes; it's about the friendships forged, the memories made, and the joy of creating something beautiful together. In high school choir, you're not just part of a group; you're part of something truly special—a chorus of voices united in song and spirit.
The Fenntastics
The Fenntastics are a group of hard-working, talented students. They are a three-part, non-audition mix choir who strive to sing a varied repertoire of music from the styles of Irving Berlin to Mozart. They participate in music festivals such as the Michigan School Vocal Music Association District Large festival and have opportunities for solos and small ensembles. They perform yearly for the elementary students, sing a Fall concert, Winter Concert, Spring Concert and for MSVMA District Choral Festival. Fenntastics have traditionally been earning “Excellent” rating at District Choral Festival. They are very proud of their singing and sight-reading skills. Admission to their concerts are always free.
The Chamber Choir
The Chamber Choir is an audition-only, select choir, that sings four-part a cappella music. There are twenty members that are selected on vocal quality, sight reading, and stage presence. These members are required to learn their own SATB literature along with the SAB music of Fenntastics. Chamber Choir has traditionally auditioned for MSVMA Region B Honors Choir. Languages they have sung in are: English, Spanish, Latin, Germany, French, Italian and Swahili.
This smaller choir is also active in singing the Star-Spangled Banner at school events, special assemblies such as Veterans Day, Community Christmas Teas, Goose Festival and encourages participation in taking solos to festival in February. Chamber Choir also performs at these events as a small ensemble. Graduation and joining the larger choir for a spring concert and elementary performance rounds out the end of the school year. Chamber Choir continues the strong tradition of receiving “Excellent” at District Choral Festival and performing at State Choral and receiving high ratings. At State Solo and Ensemble they have received an “Excellent” for the past 8 years.
