This year nine Mounds Park Academy students participated in Minnesota’s American Choral Director’s Association Honor Choirs. Ingrid D. and Gracie D. participated in the seventh and eighth grade girls honor choir. Karsten D., Isaac E. and Keith L. participated in the seventh and eighth grade boys honor choir. Annika I., Gabby L., Kelly M., and Sebella S. participated in the fourth, fifth and sixth grade honor choir. These students spent time learning an audition pieces and recording their audition that was heard by choral directors from across the state. Nine MPA students were chose out of hundreds of auditions as top singers from the state of Minnesota. Once chosen, these students were expected to learn and memorize five to six pieces on their own in preparation for the performance. The seventh and eighth grade choirs performed in Christ Chapel at Gustavus Adolphus College on Friday, November 18th and the fourth, fifth and sixth grade choir performed on Saturday, November 19th. They rehearsed all day with well known directors and did a great job representing Mounds Park Academy throughout their performance.
The sixth, seventh and eighth grade choirs will be performing on Thursday, December 8th at 7:00PM in the Nicholson Center. They have been working very hard to prepare music for this performance and are excited to share their music with you! The groups singing at this concert include; 6th Grade Choir, 7/8 Girls Ensemble, 7/8 Boys Ensemble, 7/8 Boys Choir and 7/8 Girls Choir. It will be a night full of great music and maybe even a little square dancing thrown in! We hope that you and your family will be able to join us at our performance.
