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 17. 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 over twenty choirs performing from 8 AM until a little after 4:30.
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 8:20 Concert Choir 3:25 Lynx Choir 4:00
Participation in this contest is a required portion of a choir member's grade. This event has been on the calendar since last spring, and though we would prefer performance times which do not interfere with after-school obligations, we have known all year that some time beyond 3:20 may be necessary.
