What is the Elementary Honor Choir?
Elementary students have the opportunity to sing with their most talented peers from across the state. To be eligible, a student must be in fifth grade and enrolled in a music class in his/her elementary school. Sixth graders who attend a K-6 elementary school are also eligible to be nominated.
Conductor for the Elementary Honor Choir
Lynn Brinckmeyer, Eastern Washington University, Cheney, WA
President-Elect of MENC: the National Association for Music Education
Every school that nominates students for inclusion in the choir will have at least one member chosen, provided that their director is a member of OMEA/MENC and attends the convention.
The choir will rehearse Friday, January 14, 2005 in Eugene. It will perform at the General Session of the OMEA State Conference Saturday morning, January 15, in the Eugene Hilton. A registration fee of $130 will cover clinician costs, sheet music, food, lodging, and administrative expenses. Students will stay at the Phoenix Inn in Eugene on Friday night, except for those living in the Eugene area. Registration for local students (Eugene area) will be $110. Family admission to the elementary honor choir concert is included in the registration fee. Supervision will be provided from the time of registration until the concert.
- Choir members should be experienced in both unison and simple polyphonic singing. They should be able to sing in tune and hold their part confidently.
If you have questions, or would like to volunteer to chaperone, supervise or assist in some other capacity, contact an Elementary Honor Choir organizer:
