7th and 8th Grade Girls Choir
The Forestview Middle School 7th and 8th Grade Girls Choirs are non-auditioned choirs. Any girl in 7th or 8th grade is welcome to join choir each year. There are four 7th and 8th grade girls choirs, and each choir meets every-other day for 52 minutes. Several of the girls in these choirs have just started their third year of choir, while other girls have just started their first year. All girls learn to sing through their entire range, and rather than separating the choir by soprano and alto, the choir is divided into blue and purple sections. The girls alternate singing the soprano and alto parts for the different songs we sing throughout the year.
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.

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.
