The Madison High School choirs will be attending the LCMEA choir festival, Lake County Music Education Association, on Thursday, February 20th, 2020 at 7pm in the Mentor High School. LCMEA is a choir festival where a bunch of schools come together to form a mass choir and sing the music that all of the schools have worked hard on. The choirs will be singing a variety of different songs. One of the songs is “The Lord Bless You and Keep You” by John Rutter. This song is a traditional song that the MHS choirs sing at LCMEA. They invite their alumni choir members to come up with them to perform it at the festival. The other songs that the choirs will be singing are “A Million Dreams,” from the movie “The Greatest Showman.” They’ll also be singing “Wide Open Spaces” by Sarah Quartell, “Dies Irae” by Schwedischer Rundfunkchor, and a few other pieces of music that they’re working on. In class, the MHS choirs are practicing strengthening their sight reading, solfege skills, and sight reading rhythms skills. Another event that has been taking place in the choir environment is Solo and Ensemble. Solo and Ensemble was held at the Madison High School this year over the weekend of January 24th through the 26th. Different schools including Madison, participated in Solo and Ensemble by performing songs they worked on either individually or in a group, in front of judges to get a rating on how they did. The MHS choir members scored a great overall rating being a soloist or being in a group of a 1 or a 2.
