Our choir works hard every Monday night but it is worth it. Music is good for the soul and the community. Our families are great support as well. If your name isn't here, let us know asap!
First Sopranos - Gail, Kathie, Bonnie, Margaret, Janice, Marjorie, Linda, Alvina, Barb, Cathy, Irene, Helen
A soprano is a singerwith a voice range from approximately (C4) to "high A" or to "soprano C" (C6, two octaves above middle C) or higher. In choral music the term soprano refers to a vocal part or line and not a voice type. Sopranos often still the show at the Christmas parties due to their excellent sense of humour.
Second Sopranos - Dawn, Betty, Zenith, Linda, Karen, Linda, Jane, Deb, Hetty, Joyce, Shari
A mezzo-soprano (meaning "medium" or "middle" "soprano" in Italian is a classical female singer whose range lies between the soprano and the alto, usually extending from the A below middle C to the A two octaves above . In the lower and upper extremes, some mezzo-sopranos may extend down to the G below middle C and as high as "high C. Seconds are very diplomatic and never argue amongst themselves (that we notice).
Altos - Ann, Sandra, Marylyn, Dorothy, Rachel, Lori-Ann, Shirley, Deanna, Lori, Karen, Brenda
In music, a contralto is a classical singer with a vocal range somewhere between a tenor and a mezzo-soprano. The term is used to refer to the deepest female singing voice. The typical contralto range lies between the G below middle C to two Gs above middle C . In the lower and upper extremes, some contralto voices can sing from the E below middle C to two B♭s above middle C. The term contralto is not synonymous with the term alto which designates a specific part within choral music and is not a voice type. Technically, "alto" is only a separate category in choral music where it refers simply to the vocal range. Altos are very good at making desserts.
Director - Cindee There are many things our director does well:
Is firm yet positive (please don't talk when I do, just sing!)
Works on pieces in advance, has great timing and pitch
Doesn't forget the warm-ups
Chooses the material based on the venue and occasion
If there are problems within the group, addresses it immediately
Is punctual
Chooses a good place to eat and drink
Accompanist - Audrey
An accompanist is the person who plays a supporting or collaborative role to a performer (eg. singer) or a group of performers (eg. choir). Also an accompanist must stop the choir from choosing too many songs with "doo-wop" and "baby baby" in it.
