What is UIL?
- In the Concert section of UIL, it is required that 3 pieces are memorized with full dynamics and musicianship. One piece is required to be a cappella (no piano) and 2 of the pieces are required to be selected from a list provided to music educators.
- In Sight-reading, the choir is only given a certain amount of time to read through a piece without singing it out loud until they perform it a first and second time.
- There are 3 judges in each section of evaluation. The best score they can each give is a I. The least score they can give is a V. When students receive at least two I 's per category, they receive what is called "Sweepstakes".
This contest truly evaluates the skills of the choir as a whole and takes the entire team to do well! I am excited to see where the hard work of Raider Choirs takes us!
Coming up! Raider Revue
Our end-of-year pop show is coming up soon! After UIL, students will start new music. If you have a student interested in auditioning on a solo/duet/group song, it is important to start finding song ideas now.
The song must be school appropriate, align with our broadway/musical theme, and fit their voice. If they need song selection guidance, I can help select, but I cannot help them rehearse. I will have guest judges at auditions determine those who make it into the show. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! katherine.cotten@risd.org
Audition date: Thursday, April 16th 3:30-4:30 PM
