Gioventu Musicale "Harmonious Youth" (High School Ensemble)

This ensemble was organized to support the singing of mixed chorus (SATB) literature. This is an entry-level ensemble. Men: from 9:30 - 11:30 am. Women: from 10:30 am - 12:30 pm. For the Gioventu ensemble the music camp is a 2.5 day "day and overnight camp". This ensemble participates in the O'ahu Church Choral Festival or the Na Leo Pili Mai Choral Festival (or both) and the Lokahi High School Festival each season. This ensemble is the third ensemble which is eligible to participate in a neighbor island tour every third season. This ensemble also sings in the annual Spring Recital.

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.
