South Hills Children’s Choir
students. However, membership is open to
all South Hills students, aged 8 to 15, from all
school districts.
“Right now we have 12 kids and there’s been
interest from students in Upper St. Clair, South
Fayette, Peters and Washington,” Nolan said.
“Every time I talk to people, there seems to be
more and more interest in getting involved. But
what I’m most impressed with is how talented
these kids are. They’re having a lot of fun, but
they’re learning the music and show so much
potential. It’s exciting and a little scary.”
With each rehearsal growing in size, Nolan
said she’d like to round out the choir at 45
students, however larger choirs are possible and
successful.
“There are a lot of ways that we could run it.
We could have several rehearsal locations, one
close to each community of students,” she said.
“Eventually we will have a younger choir develop
as a teaching choir to prepare kids to go into the
youth choir. There are a lot of possibilities.”
“We want
to offer
something
unique, to
give kids
depth in their
understanding
of music and
life.”
Auditions for the South Hills Children’s Choir will be held in May and June and again in August. For
