Monday, March 10th - Today is a BLACK day
It's that time of year again! The BHS Chamber Choir, Treble Choir, and Tenor/Bass are holding auditions for next year's ensembles! Auditions will take place WEDNESDAY - MONDAY: March 12th - 17th. If you are interested in being a part of one of these auditioned choirs, please sign up for an audition using this link, or the QR code on the attached flyer!
It is the same audition for Chamber, Treble, and Tenor/Bass Choir! Chamber and Treble Choir run as honors-level classes during the school day. The tenor/Bass Choir will run as an extra-curricular activity for next year, meeting outside of the school day.
Auditions are open to all current BHS students and all incoming 8th graders who will be with us next year. There are no prerequisites for the audition; all that is required is to prepare 30 seconds to a minute of your favorite song! Mrs. Albert will lead you through the rest!
The Chamber and Treble Choir are Brunswick High School's Honors Choirs, which perform in our BHS Chorus Concerts and travel for trips and festivals abroad. They have performed throughout the Brunswick community and the state of Maine, as well as in New York City, Washington D.C., Disney World, and even Fenway Park! If you enjoy singing and performing, this is the place for you! Singers of all levels are encouraged to audition!
If you would like to be a part of the BHS Choirs but do not want to go through the audition process, add Concert Choir to your schedule for next year! All are welcome, and no audition is necessary! There is a place for everyone who wants to sing at BHS!
Don't hesitate to get in touch with Mrs. Albert with any questions! aalbert@brunswicksd.org

"For most of the parents I talk to, their stories don’t center on any diagnosed mental illness. Instead, there is an underlying worry that something unnatural is going on, and that their children are missing something—really, almost everything—as their online hours accumulate."

Consider becoming a student representative to the BBPAC Safe Routes to School committee. We meet on Zoom once every 2 months, and more often when the weather is nice and we are planning an event (Bike/Walk to School Days, or table representation at community events). Your voices are an integral part of the change we’d like to see made to Brunswick streets. Your advocacy matters; join us. Contact Eric Funderburk <efunderburk@brunswicksd.org> for more information.
