Congratulations to McAuley senior Samantha Dedian, whose vocal talent has propelled her to become a member of Maine’s All-State Chorus group.

Dedian was selected after an extensive audition process involving hundreds of students from across the state.  She is now part of an elite group of 250 celebrated for their skills in singing a musical scale, presenting an excerpt from an Italian aria, sight reading, and understanding the dynamics of tone, musicianship, pitch, rhythm, and vocal technique.

The All-State Chorus group will be featured in a performance at the UMO Center for the Performing Arts in May 2010.

Congratulations to the following students who have been selected to represent McAuley in this year’s District Chorus group:  Rebecca Tanous ’10, Samantha Dedian ’10, Tabitha Dupuis ’11, Elizabeth McGarvey ’11, Alyssa Hodgdon ’13, Tori Avella ’13, and Katie Neault ’13.

District Chorus is an annual tradition that unites some of the most talented vocalists and musicians in the area.  In order to be considered for District Chorus, each student must participate in an audition process that includes singing a musical scale, an excerpt of an Italian aria, and some additional lines of sight reading.  Tone, musicianship, pitch, rhythm, and vocal technique are important components of the selection process.

The seven McAuley students chosen for this honor will be part of a performance at Harrison Middle School in Yarmouth on Saturday, February 6 at 3:00 pm. All are invited to attend the concert in support of our talented young women.

Come and share in the beauty and appreciation of music as McAuley’s very own Chamber Chorale sings to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The benefit concert, which will take place on Thursday, April 2 at 7:00 pm, will be held at the First Universalist Church of Yarmouth, 97 Main Street.  McAuley will join other area high school choral groups in an effort to raise money for the Foundation’s continued mission of providing hope, strength, and joy to children with life-threatening medical conditions.

The concert is free and open to the public, with donations accepted and appreciated.

Consider supporting our young women in this very worthwhile endeavor.
