Gold Nation A Cappella Ensemble

Meeting Dates/Times: 

 

We meet Wednesdays from 6-8PM in the choir room (147) and on Thursdays from 3:30-5PM. We also have a few select Saturday workshop rehearsals in order to prepare for our competitions.


What do we do?

 

Mission and Goals:  Gold Nation is an a cappella ensemble. (Think Pitch Perfect, Pentatonix, or Straight No Chaser). Gold Nation meets 2 times a week in the evening and after school, September through March, in order to learn our show music and choreography for our competition and festival performances. Membership consists of students freshman through senior who audition. Membership is only open to those students who are accepted by audition.


How do I join? 
 
Auditions are August 23rd and August 24th after school. Students must audition with Mr. Hammann in person. Be prepared to attend both days.
Day 1: Sing a verse and chorus of song of your choice a cappella. Pick something that shows off your voice. We will also teach a section of music from one of our competition songs.
Day 2: We will review the section of music you learned the day before and then listen to how well you sing and blend in small groups.  

 

 

For your solo you will be judged on your tone, style, intonation (ability to sing in tune), projection, and overall musicality. When you sing in small groups, you will be judged on how well you can hold your individual part against other singers and how well you can blend with other singers.
