West Clay Elementary School – INTERMEDIATE CHORUS

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

The Intermediate Chorus (Blue and Gold Company) offers students opportunities to develop musicianship and specific performance skills through ensemble and solo singing. Blue and Gold Company is a mixed choir of students in grades 10 through 12, focusing on concert choir repertoire. Activities foster the development of a quality repertoire at an intermediate level, reflecting the diverse styles of choral literature that are appropriate in terms of difficulty and range for the students. Blue and Gold Company provides instruction in creating, performing, conducting, listening to, and analyzing, in addition to focusing on the specific subject matter. Additional emphasis is placed on sight-reading, critical listening skills, vocal technique, and music theory. Students have the opportunity to experience live performances by professionals during and outside of the school day. A limited amount of time, outside the school day, may be scheduled for dress rehearsals and performances. A limited number of public performances may serve as a culmination of daily rehearsal and music goals. Students must participate in performance opportunities, outside of the school day, that support and extend learning in the classroom. Blue and Gold Company performs at all Choral Division concerts as well as a limited number of public appearances.
