Liberty Middle School Chorus

A portion of the proceeds from the Cumming Playhouse Singers, Christmas Concert, “Welcome the Holidays” is being donated to the Liberty Middle School Chorus. The LMS Girls Ensemble will perform in the holiday presentation.

The Liberty Middle School Chorus, directed by Dr. Karen Graffius is open to all students at Liberty Middle School. Students who register for Chorus attend class once a day the entire year. There are three choruses offered throughout the day, Eighth Grade Chorus, Seventh Grade Chorus and Sixth Grade Chorus. Honor Chorus is an extra-curricular activity, which meets on Tuesday and Thursday mornings in the spring semester from 8:00 – 8:50. This is an auditioned group and is open to 6th, 7th and 8th graders.

Students who take Chorus are given instruction in music reading skills and vocal development (see Course Content on the next page). Additionally, much time is spent preparing for performances at school and throughout the community. Seventh and eighth graders who are enrolled in the chorus class will have the opportunity to audition for the all-state chorus, which meets in Savannah in late February. All students will also have the opportunity to audition for the Forsyth County Honors Chorus which will meet in February. In the spring, each choir will compete in the Large Choral Festival which will be held at Reinhardt College.

Many thanks to all the choral students who helped with the sale of the special priced concert tickets! This is the first in a “Partnership Program” between local professional performing groups and local student performing groups within the Forsyth County School System. The goal is to encourage the talented youth, give them an opportunity to perform on the Cumming Playhouse Stage while helping create funding for their performing arts activities. More information will be available on this in 2013 and will be furnished the Forsyth County Schools.
