About

Dear FHS Choir Members and Parents,

Welcome to the beginning of an exciting year! In Farmington, we have worked extremely hard to achieve our level of excellence as a quality choral program. As we do every year, we will pursue to fulfill the needs of those students who enjoy choral singing. The choirs will perform a variety of styles of choral music, including music from other cultures and time periods. Stress will be placed on helping the individual singers develop sound vocal technique, skills as ensemble singers, and music reading skills. The choirs will have the opportunity to demonstrate these skills in daily rehearsals, in assignments and tests, at concerts, music festivals, contests, and other school events.

Most of the progress that individual choir members will achieve will come through a willingness to be musically expressive, a desire to be actively involved in rehearsal and performance, as well as attention to musical detail to support the artistic process. The success of our choral program at FHS relies on the willingness of our individual students to improve and contribute to the group. Talent is nice, but hard work is the real key to any program’s success.

Again, we welcome you to the FHS choral program and we hope that your year is filled with enjoyable music experiences, whole-person learning opportunities, and that you leave everyday with a sense of accomplishment and pride!

Sincerely,

Your Directors
