From YourSite.com Music Warminster Singers Our school choir (under the name Warminster Singers) provide the musical elements of all of our school church services as well as taking a leading role in all major school performances including Cabaret. In 2005 the choir toured Colorado and Wyoming in USA and in 2008 toured to . Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The choir is non-selective and all we ask is that pupils commit to rehearsals and remain enthusiastic about our performances! Chamber Choir This small vocal ensemble is selected from our most experienced singers. The group often provides 'semi chorus' sections of large choral works as well as providing close harmony secular music at many concerts. All pupils in Chamber Choir need to be fluent in music reading and also be confident in sight-reading. Junior Singers As the training choir for Warminster Singers, Junior Singers meet every Monday for a 30 minuite rehearsal. The group is directed by current L6 and U6 music pupils and music has a contemporary feel to it. The group performs at all major school concerts.
