What is the age range for students to participate in BACHS?Ages 8 – 18 (19, if you’re student is high school).
What are the types of choirs? Treble – Open to all students 8 to 12.

Cantate – This choir is for students that have had a few years of experience in singing. It will help prepare students for the high school level choir. (In 2020, this choir was paused as we look for a new director).

Concert – This choir is for students that have a handle on the basic skills of music. They have a basic ability to sight-reading music and understand music notation. All students do go through an audition process.
Why Auditions?Each year BACHS tries to ensure that each student is placed in the right choir, thus vocal placement auditions are performed before registration.

All high school-age studentmust audition as well as any student who desires to be in BACHS’s Concert Choir.

Students will be asked to:
* Sight read a small portion of music.
* Sing scales with piano
* Sing a simple song, “Happy Birthday” or “Amazing Grace”

An audition does not guarantee the student will be placed in the concert choir.  
What date and time do choirs meet? BACHS meets each 2nd and 4th Wednesday* during the school season. See the calendar for this year’s details.
*Calendar will reflect if additional dates are scheduled.
