7th and 8th Grade Boys Choir

The Forestview Middle School 7th and 8th Grade Boys Choir is a non-auditioned choir. Any boy in 7th or 8th grade is welcome to join choir each year. The performance choir is a combination of two choir classes. 8th grade boys choir meets every-other day during 1st hour, and 7th grade boys choir meets every-other day during 2nd hour. These two choirs learn the same music and combine together for a few practices as the concert approaches. Several of the boys in this choir have just started their third year of choir, while other boys have just started their first year. The boys move among sections as their voices change. Some boys stay in the same section for all of 7th and 8th grade, and other boys sing in three different sections in a month.

Forestview Middle School, located in Baxter, Minnesota, is home to over 2000 students. All students in 5th-8th grades in the Brainerd Public Schools attend Forestview. Forestview has nine choirs: three 6th grade choirs, three 7th grade choirs, and three 8th grade choirs. Over five hundred students participate in choir in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Choir classes at Forestview place an emphasis on l
earning to read music in a choral score, further developing healthy singing skills, and demonstrating achievements in public performances. 7th and 8th grade choir classes place a special focus on singing in unison, two, and three part harmony; reading music; and learning the basics of music theory.



Concert Expectations

All 7th and 8th Grade Choir students are expected to attend all of our concerts throughout the school year! Please let Mr. Aulie or Mrs. Swanson know ASAP if you have a conflict with one of our concert dates. Excused absences from concerts can be made up, but unexcused absences from concerts will result in a full letter grade deduction! All choir students are expected to dress the same for each concert. We are going to wear our black Forestview Choir polo shirts for our concerts again this year. If you do not have a polo shirt, we are asking you to consider purchasing a new polo shirt for $15.00 as a donation to our program. This shirt will be yours to keep forever! Please contact Mr. Aulie or Mrs. Swanson with any questions you have about concert dress. All choir students should plan to wear the following for all of our concerts:

Black dress pants (no leggings), black Forestview choir polo shirt, black socks and black shoes. ​
