Walled lake central choir by Amanda V. Lenze
Once again dear students you brought you’re A-game to auditions! I cannot begin to tell you how incredibly proud I am of your auditions this year. Not only were they very well prepared they made these decisions unbelievably hard, which tells me that you want our program to go to the next level. I cannot wait for such amazing musicianship and artistry next year from ALL of the ensembles.
Please make good decisions about using technology to share your emotions and thoughts regarding the advanced choir results! Sharing your happy or sad thoughts (excited or angry thoughts) will always have consequences with the relationships with your friends in the Performing Arts Department, as well as your future in the Choir and Theater Department. If you didn’t make it in, please take some time away from your phone and your computer. Be careful of burning your bridges for the future.
Be careful of what you put into print! You could easily crush a friend. Be conscious and caring about your relationships with your friends.
If you are negative on any social media sources, know in advance that you will be burning many bridges. THINK – WAIT and then respond.
If you didn’t make it into your dream ensemble, and would like to know why, wait a few days and then feel free to talk to us. Remember these decisions are made on what is the very best for the ensembles.
Congratulations to all who auditioned. These were extremely tough choices that were made, which took a great deal of thought and consideration. Alternates, stay tuned as you will be the first to add if there is a change in personnel.

A huge congratulations and thank you to our new leaders in choir council next year. Looking forward to the leadership and growth of our program next year. These positions were very carefully thought-out and selected by our interview panel. We feel that these individuals best demonstrated the leadership qualities needed for their specific area. I would like to meet next week as a choir council next Wednesday after finals to have some lunch and establish some plans before the summer begins J
Again, congratulations and thank you for stepping up as leaders in our program! Looking forward to an amazing year!
