Texas A&M CENTURY SINGERS Welcome  About  Director  Join (?)  Media  Events  president's blog June 16, 2008 Howdy! My name is Kelley Baxter and I’m the new Century Singers president for this upcoming year. This summer we’re working on reaching out to A&M students and informing them about our upcoming auditions Century Singers Fall Auditions: When: August 25-27 (the first three days of classes) Where: The Choral Activities Office (MSC Basement 003) Call us at 979-845-5974 or just come by the office to set up an audition time. The audition process is simple – you don’t have to prepare anything in advance and it’s definitely nothing to get nervous about. With our amazing director, Mr. Wade, you’ll run through a few simple warm-ups to test your range, sing “My Country Tis of Thee” in a couple different keys, and sing two simple sightreadings. If you’re an incoming freshman or transfer student for the fall 2008 semester, make sure you come by and see us during your New Student Conference! If you come by our Resource Table in Sbisa or the MSC Flagroom, one of our members would love to answer your questions and tell you everything you want to know about Century Singers and the other choirs at A&M. Just some basic information about our choir: Century Singers is A&M’s 80-voice mixed choir led by our director, Jess Wade III. We sing a wide range of music concentrating on classical choir literature, but also including (but definitely not limited to) folk songs, spirituals, popular songs, and show tunes. We usually have three to four concerts each school year and rehearse four times a week (MW 12:40-1:30pm and TR 12:45-2:00pm). Our upcoming concerts this Fall include: Sunday, November 2 Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana with the Brazos Valley Chorale and Brazos Valley Symphony Orchestra Sunday, December 7 The Annual Holiday Spirit of Aggieland Concert with the Singing Cadets and Women’s Chorus Century Singers is not only an amazing choir, but we’re also a tight-knit family that loves to have fun! We have a themed TNFT (Thursday Night Fun Thing) every week, but not always on Thursdays. At TNFTs, we dress up, hang out, watch movies, or do anything else that fits into the week’s theme. These are completely optional, but we encourage all members to go! We also have an over-night Retreat every semester (also optional), but any member who skips out on this (in my personal opinion) is insane! It’s my favorite thing we do! We play games, solve mysteries, eat junk food, (try to) stay up all night, and simply have a blast! I just want to thank you for visiting our website, and take some time to look around a bit. If you have any questions or are interested in getting involved, come visit us in the Choral Activities Office (MSC Basement 003) or call 979-845-5974. Also, feel free to email me at kbaxter427@gmail.com; I’d love to talk to you a little bit more about our amazing choir! CS Love, Kelley Baxter ‘09 (bulletin requires JavaScript)
