Middle School
Show Choir Auditions
2026-2027
Rehearsal Schedule Below are times and days for show choir rehearsals. Rehearsals are mandatory, although conflicts are worked out with the director when possible. Show choir does not interfere with other activities. Maximum Velocity (October-April) Tuesday/Friday Mornings 7:15-8:05 am Exclamation (October-April)Monday/Thursday Mornings 7:15-8:05am Costumes Costumes vary year to year and are provided by the school through fundraising (typically chocolate sales). Students will have the chance to buy show choir T-shirts at the beginning of the year.
Maximum Velocity and Exclamation Students are placed into one of two groups based on their audition scores. Our top show choir is called ‘Maximum Velocity’ and our second is called ‘Exclamation’. The size of each group is determined by the director. Maximum Velocity is directed by Mrs. Heeren and Mr. Caberos and Exclamation is directed by Mrs. Bruguier. Conflicts with Jazz band and Drum Line may arise but the directors will try their best to accommodate (we want you to be able to be in it all). ​OverviewShow choir at Mitchell Middle School is intended to give students experience in show choir rehearsal and performance. Our show choir program acts as a feeder program to ‘Friend de Coup’, the show choir at Mitchell High School. Students take part in a number of school-sponsored performances and area middle school competitions. Our program strives to give students a positive experience in show choir, to prepare them for future show choir activities, and complement our middle school vocal program as an extra-curricular activity.
