Region 2 Large Group Contest

Brandon Valley High School will again host this year's Region 2 Large Group Choral and Band Contests Wednesday, April 13.  Bands from BV, Sioux Falls, O'Gorman, and Brookings will perform in the BV PAC, while the Choral Contest will be held at Brandon Lutheran Church.

The Choral Contest will feature two dozen choirs performing throughout the day starting at 8 AM.
Each choir has a 20-minute window to perform for 3 adjudicators, and also receive a brief clinic from one of the judges.

Both contests are admission-free, and open to the public!  Please, if you can, come and listen to the choirs sing!

Here are the BV Choir performance times:
Chamber Choir  8:15            Lynx Choir   3:05             Concert Choir   3:45

Participation in this contest is a required portion of a choir member's grade.  Singers will need their concert blacks (boys- dress shoes, socks, dress pants; girls- flat or low-heel solid black closed-toe shoes), along with their assigned choir robes.

Because of the time frame of the BV performances, BV singers will be allowed to drive themselves, carpool, or even walk to Brandon Lutheran Church.  We will dismiss choir members from periods 7 & 8 (1:35) in order to be able to hear a number of other choirs perform.  There will not be a school bus for transporting BV students to/from the choir contest.  Students will be responsible for getting their robe to the contest, and back to the robe closet in the choir room.

Please contact Mr. Gullickson with any questions.
