BISD HS Choirs Succeed at UIL Evaluation

High school choirs wrapped it up last week at UIL Concert and Sight Reading, and BISD choirs made it known that we are into fabulous music-making! They received several awards and positive recognition from statewide-invited judges.

Congratulations to the talented students, tenacious directors, and dedicated accompanists who transport listening souls to a different time, place, or feeling. Amazing work reaps amazing rewards!

Each choir was given a rating in “Concert” (three prepared songs) and “Sight Reading” (one song that has never been seen or sung before and is read immediately after a brief instructional period). Three judges give a rating for each choir in each area and the final rating reflects the average. At this evaluation, choirs are competing against a standard and not against each other, enabling everyone to aim for that SUPERIOR rating.

When a choir is given a SUPERIOR rating (1) in one area, it receives a plaque. When a choir is given a SUPERIOR rating (1) in both areas, it receives a SWEEPSTAKES trophy.

BISD Middle School Choirs Continue to Shine!

The BISD middle school choirs attended UIL Concert and Sight-Reading Evaluation, where the choral skills they are taught in daily instruction are presented and evaluated. Each choir is given a rating in “Concert” (three prepared songs) and “Sight-Reading” (one song that has never been seen or sung before and is read immediately after a brief instructional period). Three judges give a rating for each choir in each area and the final rating reflects the average. At this evaluation, choirs are competing against a standard and not against each other, enabling everyone to aim for that SUPERIOR rating.

When a choir is given a SUPERIOR rating (1) in one area, it receives a plaque.
When a choir is given a SUPERIOR rating (1) in both areas, it receives a SWEEPSTAKES trophy.

Congratulations to all students, directors, and accompanists! Some additional accolades to note …
•In the history of Faulk Middle School, this is the first time they have taken a Mixed Choir. They swept it!

•The Perkins MS Varsity Treble Choir earned a Sweepstakes trophy for the first time since 1999! It is a great time to sing in BISD!
