Course Description and
Membership Requirements
Bel Canto (select singers) is a year-long
Fine Arts elective course. There will be
a limit of 14 very choice positions available during the 2008-2009 season: 4 Basses, 3 Tenors, 4 Sopranos and 3 Altos. Positions in Bel
Canto are acquired either by the personal invitation of the director or by an
audition request. Membership in Bel Canto comes with considerable responsibility. Bel Canto
represents the pinnacle of the school choral program and provides beauty in
appearance, demeanor and musical presentation. Bel Canto
rehearses 4 days a week: Monday 12:10-12:50,
Tuesday 12:10-12:50, Wednesday 12:10-12:50 and Thursday morning prior Eucharist
7:20-7:50. Also, Bel
Canto rehearses one Monday evening each month from 7:00-8:30 pm. In addition to
our rigorous concert schedule, Bel Canto may be
called upon at any time by the Admissions or Advancement departments to
represent Parish at important ceremonies or promotional events. Students who agree to membership will
complete the entire season of Bel Canto; beginning in
August and ending with the Baccalaureate performance in May. Faithful rehearsal
attendance, very strong work ethic, and impeccable attention to appearance is required to maintain membership. There are many additional opportunities available
during the school year. For example, members
may audition for TPSMEA (Texas Private Music Educators Association) All-State
Choir in October of 2008 or prepare solos for TPSMEA regional and state
competition. Additionally, Bel Canto will represent Parish at the ISAS Fine Arts
Festival at the
