 Entrance
Students & audience members should enter the front Sanctuary Entrance. Do not use the Welcome Center entrance, as that is used for voters. The back of the church will not be open; please walk around to the front of the church Sanctuary – see picture. Seating We expect a full audience for this concert, as the 8th graders from Crews & Five Forks will be performing with us. I am told the church sanctuary seats just over 800 people. Should the need arise, parent volunteers will bring out additional folding chairs. GCPS TV I am excited to announce that this concert will be recorded for later broadcast by GCPS TV as part of their Sounds of the Season program. Selected songs from the concert performance will be broadcast on GCPS TV starting December 15 through January 2, at 2 & 8pm each day. You can also stream online and on demand. Atlanta Braves Performance I have secured August 1, 2023, for Brookwood Chorus students to perform the national anthem at the Atlanta Braves (Truist Park). Yes, this is the day before the first day of the next school year. I have been trying for a couple of years to get us on their calendar, and this was our only option until we become a returning group and get more preferred dates. I will share additional details once I get them from the Braves before we leave for break. Students will have to be enrolled in chorus for the 2023-2024 school year to participate. Special exception will be given to this year’s current Seniors (class of 2023). Congratulations! The students listed below earned a score high enough to pass the first round of All-State Chorus auditions! These students auditioned with thousands of chorus students across Georgia in mid-November, and we received cut off scores recently. Students were evaluated on a memorized solo performance, scales, and three sight reading examples. Congratulations!!!
