Parish
music-scholarships for middle school and high school students
Music Scholarships are being offered to qualified
singers. Three middle school students and two high school students will be
selected to sing in and lead the parish children’s choir and adult choir,
respectively. $300 will be awarded to each
middle school student, and $500 to each high school student. They will also receive proper vocal training
from the music director while building up their repertoire by singing sacred music
in the choir. The students will be responsible for attending weekly rehearsals as
well as singing with the choir for all Sunday Masses from September to May, and
the Masses for Christmas and Easter.
(The children’s choir sings once a month and the adult choir sings every
week.)
After two years of successful singing in the choir, those
singers can also apply for a paid cantor (or junior cantor) position. Once they are qualified, they will receive
private coaching and training from the music director during the summer and
throughout the year as needed.
Deadline for the
application is April 15; the
application form is available at the parish office.
The auditions will be held during the week of April 22nd. Each candidate is required to sing two hymns
acappella (meaning vocal only) for the auditions.
