Choir 7Y |
Festival Ratings |
Choir 7Y is a fantastic option for 7th graders wanting to participate in choir for the entire school year and is open to anyone wanting to sing and enjoy music. During the fall semester, we begin with the basics as we would in our Choir 1 class. However, this class works at a quicker pace and more is expected of students as the school year progresses. We morph from a beginning choir to one of Dixon's advanced classes throughout the school year.
The ensemble's first performance is at our Holiday Concert in December. From here we prep for the choral festival season, with performances in March and April with our last performance in May at our Spring Concert. Please refer to the calendar and Disclosure Documents for all performance dates. |

Festival Ratings |
Our Concert Choir has seen substantial growth since the 2011-2012 school year. From 17 voices in 2011-2012 to currently 120 voices for the current 2018-2019 school year. Each ensemble from previous years has been unique, extremely talented and have paved the way to a tradition of excellence in our choral program at Dixon Middle School.
This group has continuously received superior and excellent ratings at choir festivals during the last few years. Performing 4-6 concerts throughout the school year, this choir traditionally performs at the end of every term including 1-2 choral festivals annually. This choir is considered one of our advanced choirs on campus. We focus on learning how to sing 3 and 4 part harmony and move at a quick pace. These young musicians are a dedicated group and are a joy to work with. This choir offers a wonderful learning experience and prepares these young musicians for choir at the high school level. |

By doing so, we have been able to allow more of our students to enjoy an enriching choral experience. As of the 2016-2017 school year we will be offering (2) separate sections of Concert Choir on campus. |
