Happy New Year!As we prepare for the Spring semester to start, there are many great events for BHS Choir to look forward to! From the challenging yet rewarding UIL competition season to the recruitment visits to Bastrop Middle School and Intermediate School, the spring is always full of fun events for our BHS Choir program. Stop and enjoy every moment, because the spring semester always flies by in the blink of an eye!
To start the new year off right, I'd like to revisit the 5 goals we established in August for the 2022-23 school year. Let's remember our program goals for this year: 1. Learn all BHS Choir students' names. [Through the hard work of our Officers on BHS Choir social events, we've met this goal!] 2. Visit Bastrop Middle School Choirs 2x per semester. [Last semester we only visited BMS Choirs 1 time; we are working to schedule at least 3 visits this semester to help build those relationships with the 7th & 8th grade singers that may be BHS Choir singers someday!] 3. Improve sight-reading skills. [Students had 3 minutes to sight-read a short exercise for the Fall semester final exam, and I am pleased to announce that our BHS Choir students have much improved their sight-reading skills!] 4. MORE SOCIAL EVENTS! [Although we did not have the packed social events calendar we had hoped for, we did have a great balance of social events & choir events! Watch out for some very exciting social events in the spring semester.] 5. Earn a "1" at UIL Concert & Sight-Reading Evaluation. [This March, BHS Choirs will be travelling to the UIL Concert & Sight-Reading evaluation in search of this goal: earn a "1", or "Superior", rating at the evaluation. This can be achieved by an excellent performance on stage through our 3 prepared pieces or through hard work in the sight-reading room on brand new music materials.] We still have the spring semester to achieve these goals, and I am confident that we will hit our mark! Looking forward to a semester full of hard work, musicianship, community, and FUN as we count down the days until the Class of 2023 Graduation Ceremony! Kindly, Ms. Davis
