Grades 2 - 4. Rehearsals are held on Saturday mornings from 8:30 - 10:30 am. For the Angeli ensemble the music camp is a 1.5 day "day camp". This ensemble is the first "performing" ensemble. However, we purposefully limit the number of performances that this ensemble participates in each year to allow for a greater concentration on learning musical concepts and performance rehearsal without the additional pressure of numerous performance expectations.

Angeli, Coro & Gioventu General Audition Process Information:

Auditioners are asked to sit through a full two hour rehearsal. They will share music with a returning student. At some point during the rehearsal (typically during the break or immediately following the rehearsal) their musical director will audition the new students in a low key one on one audition. This audition is a vocal familiarization process and not a weeding out one. The purpose of the audition is to understand the voice entering the ensemble and the organization. We will check their vocal range, pitch matching and rhythm ability and voice quality. Once the child goes through the audition process (unless there is a major physical problem which would preclude their ability to participate in the organization) the next decision is the child's as to whether they wish to continue with the organization. Membership requires that all members grades 2 - 12 must participate in an annual mandatory fall music camp which typically occurs the last weekend of September or the first weekend of October in the fall semester. The cost for the music camp is in addition to their semester tuition fees. The camp is held over a weekend and will not conflict with school schedules. The camp is critical for musical foundation and socialization processes and is the equivalent of 2 - 4 (dependent on the ensemble) months of rehearsal time packed into a few short days. Those students who are not able to commit to the music camp will not be able to enroll into membership.
