We are now recruiting members for the 2018-2019 CRES Chorus and CRES TrebleMakers. All students entering Grade 4 and Grade 5 may participate. Please see the attached form for more information and return to Mr. Baur by Friday, June 8! Click here for Permission Slip! I am sharing the following information with you regarding an outside organization which is not affiliated with the Islip School District. MYO is a wonderful organization which provides children with access to quality choral music education with a focus on healthy singing habits as well as giving students additional performance opportunities outside of school. There are several auditioned choirs in which our students may join. Suffolk Treble Choir under the direction of Craig Knapp and Suffolk Concert Choir under the direction of Melanie Dominick. The choirs perform three concerts each year. Joining these groups allow your child to have more exposure to choral music and have the opportunity to meet other students with the same passion for singing that they have. Mr. Knapp is a past president of SCMEA (The Suffolk County Music Educators’ Association) and has conducted many All-County honor choirs and I am positive that your children will benefit greatly from singing with him. Mrs. Dominick is also a past All-County conductor and has an extensive background in choral music from which students will learn so much!
Students who are entering Grades 4-6 in the fall would be joining the Suffolk Childrens’ Choir with Mr. Knapp. Those students entering Grades 7-8 in the fall would be joining the Suffolk Concert Choir with Mrs. Dominick. Full descriptions of the groups can be found on the MYO website. Auditions are being held on June 9, 2018. If your child performed at NYSSMA, they may absolutely use their NYSSMA solo as their audition piece. They would need to bring a CD player and a CD to the audition. If students are not involved in NYSSMA, they can certainly sing an excerpt from either their TrebleMakers music, IMS Chorus music, IMS Show Choir music, or CRES Chorus music. I can provide them with a recording to use. To schedule an audition, please visit www.myo.org/auditions. There you will find a list of frequently asked questions about MYO and there is a $25 non-refundable audition fee. If you have any additional questions about MYO, please feel free to reach out to me. Many current and former CRES and IMS students have been a part of this organization and recommend it highly!

What a fantastic day the CRES TrebleMakers had at the League of Yes on Saturday, May 5, 2018! They opened the League of Yes with a wonderful performance of the Star Spangled Banner and then were amazing buddies to all of the special needs players of the league! What an absolutely heart-warming day! Please visit the TrebleMakers page to see a complete gallery of all photos!
