Glee Club- Middle School Students

Glee Club is a singing/performance ensemble directed by the Fine Arts Director, Mr. Justin Taylor Nixon. Most of the music represented is contemporary pop music or musical theater with the occasional sacred performance during a school chapel or Mass. Students will be challenged through the complexity of the music and the inclusion of tight harmonies and part work. Students will rehearse via Zoom and then utilize the app, Acapella App, for recording purposes (students will need access to a computer for Zoom and either an iPhone or iPad for Acapella App. An iPad can be provided by school if necessary). No audition is required for participation.
