Choral Program
Saint Ignatius has three Choral Ensembles: Mixed Chorus (SATB), Treble Singers (SAA), and Chamber Singers (SATB).
At SI, we have three choral programs who have all earned superior rankings at festivals in recent years (the highest ranking possible). These choirs are comprised of experience singers, karaoke all-stars, and brand new singers - everyone is welcome! You just need to have the desire to sing and the time to dedicate to our rehearsals.
Please sign up for a 10-minute slot on one of our audition days. All choir members must sign up for a slot, even if you have been in SI Choir before. Voices change over the summer! I want to make sure you are placed in the correct voice part. All singers will participate in simple vocal warm-ups, tonal memory, and must prepare a 45-60 second a cappella piece in any style to sing for Ms. Gomes. Choose a song that shows your voice well.
Please read these FAQs about auditioning.
