MMEA NORTHEASTERN DISTRICT
SENIOR FESTIVAL
Sign-ups are now underway for the Northeast District Senior High Choral Festival auditions. Your successful district audition and participation in the Northeastern District Festival Chorus qualify you to audition for All-State Chorus. Both festivals are terrific experiences: a way for you to connect with other outstanding high school singers, perform great music and learn from guest conductors. The All-State Chorus performs each year at the MMEA (Massachusetts Music Educators Association) Conference at Symphony Hall in Boston. As this choir represents the best of the best high school singers in the state, it is quite an experience!
Senior District auditions are held on Saturday, November 23 at North Andover High School (transportation is provided by LHS). For the audition, you will prepare a choral piece, The Turtle Dove (Price). There is also a sight singing component to the audition. Sheet music will be provided by Mr. Iannuzzi. At the audition you will sing to pre-recorded MIDI tracks "minus one" (all parts but your own). These mp3 files are available for reference and practice on the Northeastern District site linked below. You will be expected to prepare notes and rhythms for this piece outside of school. We will also rehearse several times after school in preparation for your audition. You are expected to attend some of these run through rehearsals.
If you are interested in auditioning, please fill out the form below NO LATER THAN the close of school on Friday, September 27th. Your signing up on this list reflects a commitment to follow through with auditions and, should you be selected, the festival, whether you receive an All-State rec or not. Please check the dates below against your calendar. The audition fee is $15 (check payable to "Town of Lexington") and is due by the close of school on September 27. Note, if you sign up to audition and back out, you are still responsible to pay the $15, as LHS must front the fees in advance of auditions. If you are accepted to the festival, LHS will cover part of the cost of participation.
