New year, new room!

Welcome to the blog page of the Brandon Valley Choirs.  This site is to inform choir members and their families of the choir events throughout the year.  Links on the right side of this page can direct you to more detailed information on different topics as the year goes by.

HERE are a few of the topics keeping us busy at the northwest corner of the building...

Our annual frozen cookie dough sale fundraiser continues until September 12.  This is entirely optional; all proceeds go to individual student accounts, and are used for the choirs' June 2018 trip to central Florida.

The choirs' FALL CONCERT is Monday, October 17.  For those new to BVHS (and a reminder to those who are not), please review the concert dress code in the CHOIR SYLLABUS at the right.  Most important:  boys wear BLACK socks, dress shoes, and dress pants; girls need solid black, closed-toe flat or low-heel shoes.

See the posts below --and the links to the right-- for more information regarding auditions for All-State Chorus and ACDA Honor Choir.


 

By far, the biggest news is the new choir room, located across the hall from the PAC. 
After only a few days of rehearsal, it is clear that this beautiful space will serve the students of Brandon Valley well for many decades to come.

HONOR CHOIR Auditions

For the highly-motivated singers at BVHS, there are Honor Choir audition opportunities this month.  These choirs are all sponsored by the American Choral Directors Association, either at the state or national level.

The annual SD ACDA Junior Honor Choir for grades 7, 8, and 9 will be held in Sioux Falls January 18-19.

The biennial national convention of the ACDA will be in Kansas City February 27-March 2, and will include Honor Choirs for elementary, middle school, and high school singers.

MORE INFORMATION on these honor choirs can be found on the SD or NATIONAL honor choir pages at the right.
