Semiquavers

This performance-oriented course provides an opportunity for selected students (juniors and seniors chosen by audition the previous spring) to participate in a challenging vocal ensemble under faculty supervision. Repertoire includes classical, folk, popular, and original materials. Students study techniques of good vocal tone production, musicianship, and showmanship. Membership in Chorus is a requirement for audition and participation in Semiquavers. Extensive public appearances in the school and community are an integral part of the Semiquavers experience. There are mandatory rehearsals during the last two weeks of August to prepare for RPCS’ Opening Day Convocation. In past years, Semiquavers along with Roses and FTE, has created an interdisciplinary piece that toured in the summer.
