After literally hours and hours of listening and deliberations, the 2014-2015 edition of The A Cappella Group is set, well, almost.
I have to say that this year is hardest I have ever had in making those final cuts. It is definitely the worst part of my job. Thank you to all of you who tried out. I'm honored that you want to be a part of the group. For those of you who don't find your name on this list, know that I spent an incredible amount of time listening and considering all parts of your audition. Please make sure you come and see me to get feedback on your audition. It is a great learning tool. This year, in many cases, it isn't what you did wrong, it is what someone else did just a little better.
Here is the "almost" part - A special thank you goes to the two vocal percussionists that auditioned - Everett and Kent. I would like for both of you to come to the first rehearsal. It has been very difficult to make a decision based on the short excerpts of the auditions. I would like to hear much more from both of you at rehearsal and then we can make a decision.
For those that are on this list - Congratulations. Our first rehearsal is Monday night August 25 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the choir room.
