Objectives

An objective is a goal, an end to be achieved, a standard to be met.  The primary objective of the Choral Department is EXCELLENCE THROUGH CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.  We strive for excellence in vocal production, intonation, dynamics, phrasing, articulation, balance, and blend.  Our objective is for each choir to become a finely polished, sensitive, responsive choral ensemble.  To achieve our goal, we need maximum cooperation and diligent work from each member of each choir.  Our repertoire will change throughout the year, but our goals will remain constant:

That each phrase will be sung more beautifully than the last

That our dynamic coloration will be ever more varied

That our interpretation will be more sensitive and alive each time we     perform

That, as the year progresses, each performance will be more skillful and     exciting than the last
