On
March 4 the West Middle School choirs, conducted by Mr. Dave Martin, performed
at Michigan School Vocal Music Association (MSVMA) District 12 Choral
Festival.
The
Cardinal Singers, Cadet Choir, and Men in Black each prepared two musical
selections from the classical, spiritual, folk and art song genres. The
performances included songs in English and Latin. Each group also read
new music at sight, under Mr. Martin's direction.
For
their performance and sight-reading, each group was rated using a MSVMA rubric.
The
Cadet Choir and Men in Black each received an overall Division II (or
"good") rating. The Cardinal Singers were rated Division I
("Excellent") and are now invited to represent West and Taylor
Schools at State Choral Festival in Holt on May 8 and 9.
You
can hear the West Choirs perform at Festival on the attached video. Congratulations
to all the fine musicians at West!
