Come Sing!
Join the Upward Youth Choirs!
Grades 1 – 12
Upward Youth Choirs provide an opportunity for students to learn the fundamentals of singing while being encouraged to grow in their faith with Jesus Christ. We serve our community by using our voices to uplift and encourage others.
Upward Choir is for students in Grades 1 through 12. Our winter / spring session begins Tuesday, January 7 and concludes with a spring concert on March 25.
The primary choir will consist of younger students who benefit from a shorter rehearsal (60 minutes) and more rote teaching. Generally this includes students up through 4th grade.
Primary Choir Tuesdays 4:30 – 5:30 pm
The intermediate choir will meet after the primary choir and is designed for students who are ready for a longer rehearsal (90 minutes) and are learning to read music and sing in parts. Students are usually 4th grade or older. Parent input is welcome for placement. All students will be included in a choir.
Intermediate Choir Tuesdays 5:45 – 7:15 pm
The cost to participate is $109 which includes sheet music, folder, t-shirt, and a choir robe to wear for the concert.
If students signed-up in the fall and did not request a refund, please contact the director for instructions before registering.
Regular auditions will not be scheduled unless needed. Once registered, families will receive an email confirmation with the link to a form asking more specific musical questions to help the director get to know your student(s) and guide placement in the choir and section. Please be sure to fill out the form with your student. It is only a few simple questions so should take just a couple minutes. If your student is new to Upward Choir and would benefit from an opportunity to meet with the director, that can certainly be arranged. Please contact Mindy Heinsch to schedule.
Rehearsals are at Bethel Church, 2702 30th Ave S, Fargo.
