Singers:

This upcoming week is a busy one for many of you. We have a few more performances, and we begin working on our set for MICCA 2016. I have several updates for you, followed by video samples of our songs for MICCA that we will begin working on this week. I will be uploading a "MICCA Mixtape" of audio recordings and part tracks will be uploaded early this week as well.

MICCA 2016
I am excited to announce our performance set for MICCA 2016. Any of these selections are subject to change by me, nothing is set in stone. As of now, these are the songs we will learn with the aim of performing them at the highest level possible. I have uploaded some sample videos (these are just one example of each song -- please seek out as many as you can find, there are good and bad ones to be found) I will be creating a "MICCA Mixtape" on dropbox of what I feel our some of the best recordings available of each. As mentioned before we will go with two choirs (a full mixed Concert Choir, and an all-girls Treble Choir)
