Choir Website 

 

Concert Choir (Mixed Choir 1-4) This choir is the only non-auditioned choir at Hebron HS.  The choir performs in all concerts, competes at UIL Concert and Sight-reading Contest and members are participants in the LISD Solo and Ensemble Contest.  Students in the Concert Choir are graded on individual participation, group oral tests and rehearsal and performance attendance.  

 

Belle Chanson (In the fall this is listed as Treble 1-4and spring it is listed as Advanced Treble 1-4.) is an auditioned group for just women's voices.  These ladies will sing three and four part harmonies.  Select Treble members will perform in all HHS choir concerts, UIL Concert and Sight-reading Contest and will participate in the LISD Solo and Ensemble Contest.  Select Treble Ensemble may also be asked to perform at other community and school events during the year.  Select Treble Ensemble members will be graded on class participation, oral tests, and rehearsal and concert attendance.  Belle Chanson members must remain in choir for a full year.

 

A Cappella Choir (listed as Vocal Ensemble 1-4) is the varsity choir of Hebron HS.  A spring audition will be held to select these vocal students.  The A Cappella Choir sings at all HHS choir concerts, LISD and UIL competitions (solos and ensembles) and its members are the ALL STATE CHOIR audition participants who represent HHS during the fall auditions.  Students in this choir will be expected to learn and perform music at a faster pace.  They will be evaluated on the basis of participation, individual and group oral tests, and attendance to various rehearsals and performance during the year.  A Cappella performs at several community and civic events during the school year.   A Cappella members are urged to attend a summer choir camp to prepare for Texas All-State auditions.  A Cappella students must remain in the choir for a full year.

 

HARMONY! is the Hebron High School Show Choir.  Members of Harmony will be selected during a spring audition and must be chosen as a member of A Cappella choir for 2005-2006 school year to participate.  This group will meet 1-2 times a week outside the school day (or perhaps one night a week from 6-9 p.m.).  The group will have a different uniform and will incorporate choreography into their program. This group will have 8-16 members.

 

Auditions for A Cappella Choir and Belle Chanson will be held on Monday, April 23rd starting at 4:15 p.m. in the HHS Choir Room.  Choir officers will be available to help/teach/critique middle school students at the middle school campuses the week before auditions.  Judges will hear students sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" a cappella, a song will tape accompaniment (provided by the HHS director). Students will also sight-read an eight-measure melody.    An information audition packet will be available to students during April.  Both songs (or three if auditioning for Harmony!) need to be memorized for the audition.
