Descants Advanced Girls Choir

The Descant level is our advanced ensemble and is available by audition to singers grades 4-12.  This is an advanced vocal ensemble for girls who are ready for a challenging and fast-paced choral experience.

WHO SHOULD AUDITION?

REQUIREMENTS:

• The ability to sing with a pure tone.
• The ability to blend with all voices of the ensemble.

• A passion for singing a wide variety of choral music with others who share a love of music.
• All members of The Descants must also enroll in their grade-level  ensemble at Marin Girls Chorus. (i.e. a 4th grader must also enroll in the Arioso Ensemble, a 6th grader must also enroll in the Bel Canto Ensemble, etc.)
