NHS has record number of students in District Honor Choir

A record number of choir students earned the distinction of becoming members of the St. Vrain Valley School District Honor Choir for January 2024. Fifty-three singers were selected after an arduous try-out process. The Honor Choir consists of both a Mixed Choir and a Treble Choir.

Laura Walters, Director of Choirs at Niwot, said, "We practiced in class all semester up until the audition and students had to audition on their own in November." The audition process included learning a portion of Simon & Garfunkel's classic "Homeward Bound." Students also had to demonstrate proficiency in singing various scales and triads, singing and recognizing intervals, as well as melodic and rhythmic-based sight-reading.
