Spring Choir Concert: "Songs of the Silver I cannot believe it is already time for graduation! It seems like just yesterday we posted our first Newsletter in August of 2021, ready to start an amazing year full of performances, community, and most importantly, music. Our BHS Choir singers have come a long way this year, and I am so proud of the hard work, dedication, and loyalty they've brought to our choral program to make this season a great success. Let me share with you a few highlights of our incredible 2021-22 season: 1. BHS Choir had 14 performances this year! To put this monumental achievement in context, last year BHS Choir had 6 performances, and the year before we had 4. Not only did we perform at 14 events, we performed extremely well everywhere we went. This is an outstanding achievement for BHS Choir, and I am so happy to celebrate our students' hard work that made these 14 performances possible! 2. BHS Choir received 2's & 3's on our UIL Concert & Sight-Reading Evaluation! This evaluation is scored on a scale of 1-5, with 1 being Superior and 5 being Below Adequate. I am very proud of these scores for our choir students this year, and looking forward to getting 1's and trophies next year! With these students and the dedication they bring to our BHS Choir program, the sky is the limit! 3. BHS Choir participated in 3 brand new events around Bastrop. These events include: Bastrop County Choral Festival, Movies in the Park, and Dia del Nino - Districtwide. Not only did we have the wonderful opportunity to perform at these incredible events, they called us and asked us to perform! I am so grateful that our hard work and loyalty to the BHS Choir program over the past few years has finally brought us to a place where these students are being asked to perform because of their incredible reputation as a choir! Congratulations BHS Choir on an amazing 2021-22 season! Now, as the year comes to a close, it is time to look ahead to the future of BHS Choir. It is my greatest joy to announce to you today that next year, we will no longer be BHS Choir, but BHS Choirs! Our incredible administrative and front-office team at BHS worked diligently to help us open up 2 sections of choir next year, and I am so pleased to announce that our hope for multiple choirs has come to fruition! Congratulations to the BHS Choral Program for this monumental achievement; I cannot wait to show you the growth of our program next year and introduce you to our new choir! Finally, I'd like to say thank you to all who attended the BHS Choir Banquet last Saturday, May 7th. We had an incredible time celebrating the amazing students in our program, looking back on this busy, busy season, and sending off the seniors as they prepare for graduation in a few weeks. I am so proud of our seniors, and cannot wait to see our Class of 2022 take the next steps on their journey! Congratulations Seniors; don't forget to come visit when you're in town! We have 1 concert left before Final Exams, Graduation, and Summer Vacation rise into view. I hope to see you there as we honor our graduating seniors, announce our 2022-23 Officer Board, and say goodbye for the summer. Attached is a list of Summer Choir Camps offered by local universities, as well as a flyer for a brand new choir camp offered in Austin that serves to be a more affordable option to our students. I would highly recommend our choir students attend a summer choir camp; they are incredibly fun and immersive, and give our students a few days to truly study music with their peers from around the state. If you have any questions about summer camps or need help selecting one, please let me know and I would be happy to help! Until then, I'll look forward to seeing you at our Spring Concert on Monday, May 23rd. Kindly, Ms. Davis REMINDERS: -If your student would like to participate on the 2022-23 Officer Board, please encourage them to reach out to Ms. Davis and schedule an interview time!
