The Falmouth High School Choir and Repertory Singers will present their annual Winter Concert on Thursday, December 20, at 7 PM in the Falmouth High School auditorium. Students will perform folk-inspired music from around the world, including pieces from South Africa, Japan, Norway, and Russia, in addition to several holiday favorites. Admission is free, though donations will be accepted at the door. Proceeds will benefit the FHS Choral Boosters travel and scholarship funds. Hope to see you there!

Reps: Listen to a great recording of “Prelude” here
and the classic recording of “Ueo Muite Aruko”
here . The Latin on “Prelude” is a bit different from what we’ll be doing– they’re doing a Germanic Latin, while we’ll be singing a more traditional Latin. Practice your chromatic hand signs using
this link . Quiz yourself on key signatures using
this link .
Chorus: Listen to Kitka’s recording of “Po Polju” here
. Listen to “Vus Vet Zayn”
here .
Don’t forget the car wash this Saturday, October 13 from 10 – 2 at Murray & MacDonald Insurance.

Hello everyone,
The school year is now in full swing! It has been a pleasure to work with you so far, and I look forward to many great weeks down the road. I have a few updates for you.
Chorus: you can access the YouTube link with the choreography to “Sylvie” at this link

You can download a copy of the 2012-2013 Choir Handbook by clicking this link

Hello, everyone!
This is Mr. Fruth, the new choral director at Falmouth High School. I had the chance to meet a few students at the Falmouth Road Race (I think my shoes still smell like Gatorade), and I look forward to meeting the rest of you in the coming week. We’re going to be exploring some dynamic repertoire together this year! Be sure to check this page often for updates about fundraising opportunities, classroom materials, and all other things choral-related.
In song,
Mr. Fruth

Please join with the Choral Boosters in congratulating the Concert Choir and Repertory Singers on their outstanding performances in the Heritage Festival competition at Riverside Church in New York City last weekend! Both groups placed first in their divisions with gold (greater than or equal to 90 out of 100) scores from all the professional adjudicators and the choir won the Adjudicators’ Award trophy with a mean score over 95. Both groups earned an invitation to perform at Carnegie Hall and at the Heritage Festival of Gold in a future season. The performances will be broadcast on local TV in a few weeks and links to audio files of the performances are below.
Repertory Singers
O My Dove
Soldier, Won’t You Marry Me?
Earth Song
Concert Choir
Festival Sanctus
