The program has grown to four separate choruses, “Do-Re-Mi Singers” for grades 1 through 3; “Music Makers Chorus” for grades 4 through 8; Crescendo (formerly Master Singers) Choir,” an audition-based choir for grades 6 through 8 (detailed descriptions for these in WHIZ KIDS section), and “Encore” for grades 9 through 12. The choir has sung in concert with the Rock Valley Chorale, performed at the Coronado Theater, toured at regional libraries and museums, sung for the opening of a Smithsonian Institute exhibition, participated in youth choral festivals, and performed for public and private civic groups in the Rock Valley College tri-county area. In 2006 the Rock Valley Children’s Choir formed a partnership with the Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center. Each week Leah Baskin, the choir’s director brings a variety of learning experiences and styles to the children’s rehearsals. Weekly rehearsals and optional monthly Saturday workshops provide many occasions for children to grow both as singers and as responsible citizens. The choir runs throughout the school year with registration and tuition payments done each semester. Rock Valley Children’s Choir – Encore! (High School Students) Now in its fourth year, Encore is the perfect place to sing for high school students who have no room in their daily school schedules for choir. Homeschoolers looking for a place to sing and make new friends will find a warm welcome in this ensemble, and of course, many graduating eighth graders have asked to remain with the RVCC organization as they continue their education into high school. This ensemble will continue to set high standards of musician ship and vocal development through the use of the fine choral literature. Materials fee of $20 payable to Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center to be collected at the first class.
