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 learning 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

Choir is a performance-based class, and every student in choir is expected to attend every performance. All concerts are held in the Forestview Cafetorium. Please mark the following dates on your calendar and plan to attend each concert. If you foresee a conflict with a concert, you MUST contact Mr. Aulie or Mrs. Swanson know as soon as possible, and we will assign an alternate method of making up these points. Excused absences may be made up, but an unexcused absence from a concert will result in a grade reduction of one letter grade.
