Brandon Valley High School will again host this year's Region 2 Large Group Choral and Band Contests this Wednesday, April 18. 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 about 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. The three judges are choral directors from Augustana, USD, and Morningside.
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 8:20 Lynx Choir 1:00 Concert Choir 2:20
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.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that every singer has the required clothing IN SCHOOL ON WEDNESDAY.
Boys will have time to quickly change into concert pants before getting on the buses.
Lynx & Concert Choir members will be bused to and from the church.
Lynx Choir is excused from periods 6 & 7; Concert Choir from 7 & 8.
Looking ahead, the BV Choirs perform their Spring Concert Monday, May 14 at 7:30 in the PAC.
Please contact Mr. Gullickson with any questions.
