RIley PHS Concert Choir

Riley tried out for Concert Choir for the next school year on Thursday, March 15th after school.  He had to sing a solo of a song that was either a folk, patriot or classical song.  He choose to do "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood.  He said he was kind of nervous, but thought he did okay.  He also had to sing a scale and sight read music and sing it.  What a lot to ask for a 15th year boy.  You would think he was trying out for the Tab Choir or something, but I guess they have to use some kind of process to screen and weed out some of the students.
Riley was called back for a 2nd performance today.  So basically, most of the boys at PHS that tryout, get into the choir, because they are always in need of more boys, so Riley was a shoe in no matter what, which is kind of nice.
Anyway, he was told that he made into Concert Choir and had to fill out paperwork and commitment contracts for next school year.  Riley really enjoys the barbershop singing that Mr. Wiser has introduced to all the Men's choir group this year.  We are so surprised that he wants to do singing, but we do love that he is trying something new and different than the rest of the family.
Great Job Riley for getting in to the PHS Concert Choir.
