TROUBADOURS FALL 2024
This semester, we look forward to producing two more outstanding productions (A Super Christmas & Pirates of Penzance), a return of our Bucket Drumming, Public Speaking, Exploring Drama, One Acts, and Individual Interpretation classes, adding a Music and Movement class for our littlest Troubadours, Ukulele and Guitar Jams, a new Jazz Band opportunity, and a prep time for those interested in WSMA Solo & Ensemble Contest, in addition to continuing our high-quality instrumental, choral, and theater experiences for homeschool students in the Fox Valley.
WSMA Prep
Middle School/High School Band & Choir students can prepare a solo or ensemble piece to perform at Festival in February/March
Front Line Jazz
A new, auditioned High School Jazz ensemble for serious Jazz students. Get ready to groove with a new Front Line sound!
PLEASE NOTE:
We ask that you carefully schedule the performance dates below prior to registering for classes. And please consider your schedule in the 3 practices prior to performances, as attendance becomes increasingly important as the semester progresses.
In all instrumental and vocal classes, the last rehearsal prior to the concert will in most cases serve as a dress rehearsal,
and attendance is mandatory.
​
*Also, please note that if your students wish to audition for the Spring Musical, participation in a fall choir (Concert Choir or Trouvères) is a pre-requisite.
​
REGISTRATION:
Our registration form is set up to accept up to 5 student registrations at one time. If you have more than 5 students to register, please complete this form, click "submit" at the end, and start a new form to register your remaining students.
​
At this time we are not able to accept payment through this registration form.
After your registration is processed, new families will be contacted via email with instructions about how to log in to your account(s) (the email will come from "My Music Office"). If you already have a My Music Office (MMO) account, you can log in to see registrations and any balance due (all balances from previous semesters must be paid prior to registering for the fall).
Payments can be made by check or cash (dropbox next to the office in Belfry), or by credit card through your MMO account(s).
​
If auditioning for Pirates of Penzance, please register, and payment will occur following auditions and acceptance of roles.
Troubadours will continue to offer a Family Cap for core Band & Choir classes to encourage students to explore their musical talents.
