Tenor-Bass Day
Registration Fee: $10
Registration Deadline: Friday, September 26, 2025
Join us for a day of music-making with high school tenor and bass singers! Participants will rehearse a selection of repertoire aimed at helping them grow as musicians and singers, work with a renowned clinician, meet Shenandoah faculty and students, and enjoy an engaging musical experience.
- Teachers: To ensure a great day for our students and in case of emergency, teachers or a designated administrative representative from your school are required to attend the event. Please remain on campus and attend rehearsals/activities. Additional parent chaperones are welcome.
- We aim to include as many students as possible in this exciting event. In the event of high turnout requiring us to limit participation, please rank your students in order of priority. Each school is guaranteed spots for their first eight registered participants.
