6/7/8 Grade Choir

DeKalb Middle School offers choir for 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students with different required mastery at each level.  

 

Sixth-grade choir focuses on basic vocal technique and music reading skills, performance skills, ear training, and basic composition.  Seventh and eighth-grade choirs are intermediate and advanced levels of these concepts. Students also have an opportunity to participate in the ISSMA vocal competitions, which allow them to further advance their vocal skills. No auditions are required for these classes. All students are required to sing at two performances each year, with one performance in the winter and one in the spring.

 

Midpoint (Show Choir - 7th/8th)

Midpoint is DeKalb Middle School's show choir.  This is an auditioned group of 7th and 8th-grade students who perform music from a variety of styles at school and community functions.  In addition to performing a yearly show, Midpoint also sings the National Anthem at local sports events, including TinCaps and universities.  Midpoint is a class that gives vocalists an opportunity to add to the choir curriculum of study with enhanced emphasis on choreography and musical expression.

 

Midpoint is a class that meets during the school day with performances outside of school.
