The purpose of the Upward Youth Choir is to promote the discovery of Jesus through music and to serve our community by using our voices to uplift and encourage others. We will honor God, our country and those who have served to give us the freedoms we enjoy today. Song selections will include patriotic music, folk songs, spirituals, and sacred numbers.
Students will be assigned a choir following auditions. The purpose of the audition is for the director to get to know the students and their voices. Specific grade levels included in each choir will be adjusted based on the number of students who register. Everyone will be included.
The cost to participate is $99 which includes sheet music, a folder, and a shirt / blouse for the concert. Students will provide their own pants or skirt.
Both auditions and rehearsals will be at Bethel Church in the Choir Room. The concert will be held in the main auditorium.
To join the choir, please register using the link above and then sign-up for an audition time (link to sign up for an audition will be included in your confirmation email after your register). Families may come together for auditions. No more than two students per audition slot, please. Just sign up for additional time slots. Registration will close on July 24.
