Chamber Series
The GHS Bands will be hosting their own “Chamber Series” on February 17th and 19th. The festival will begin at 5:00 pm with solo & small ensemble performances occuring all in a 4-station performance venue.
Students will perform their solos for an adjudicating judge. Their performance will be critiqued and evaluated much like the solo & ensemble festival. The top performers will be invited to perform at the premiere “Honors Recital” (along with each band’s instrumental choirs) on Thursday, April 2nd in the GHS Performance Facility.
The “Chamber Series” is an open performance. Fellow students and families are encouraged to attend the performances.
Students will be checking off their solos and ensembles in January.
Please note that all GHS Band Students must attend one of the chamber series evenings and as an assignment, critique three performances. As part of their 3rd quarter performance requirement, all students must either perform a solo or ensemble at the chamber series or perform in a large choir at the Honor’s Recital.
Honors Recital
Featuring outstanding soloists and ensembles chosen by their performance at the Chamber Series, the Honors Recital showcases talented GHS Musicians in a variety of venues. In addition, there will be performances by several large instrumental choirs including Flute Choir, Clarinet Choir, Saxohone Choir, Brass Choir, Horn Choir, Low Brass Ensemble and Percussion Ensemble.
These large ensembles meet once a week before school (6:55-7:15 am)
This year’s Honors Recital is on March 21st beginning at 7:00 pm in the Auxiliary Gym. Admission is free. Refreshments will be provided by the Tri-M Music Honors Society.
