iTalk


Hi again,
Just thought some of you might be interested in the following recording device.
This is a photo of an iTalk. Those of you in chorus may have noticed me recording your singing on here during rehearsals. Mr. Barth introduced me to the iTalk and it is great for recording podcasts or recording yourself when practicing (or even in concert). All you have to do is plug it into the bottom of your ipod, click on button, and it will begin recording. You can then upload the recordings to itunes and make CDs of yourself if you want, or just keep it on your ipod. Some of you have tried to buy this in stores found that they are really expensive so you didn't buy one. ($50-70) However, I got mine for less than $13 on EBAY (and the Ebay store I bought it from had a lot). Brand new, in the plastic packaging. Not all types of iTalks (they come in iTalk sync, i Talk, iTalk Pro..etc) work with all iPods so do your research first but you should be able to find one that works. Just a thought for those of you who really want to be critical about your own singing.

Epoch of Norton Chorus


Hi everyone,

We are starting our new concert season for the Epoch Chorus. We can always use more high school singers to come with us and rehearse with the senior citizens. Its a pretty fun time usually and we can also give you community service hours. Please take a look to your right where you will find a calendar for all chorus events, which includes Epoch rehearsals/concerts.

Please comment and let me know if you have any ideas of song selections for the Epoch Chorus! :) Good luck on exams everyone!

A couple things...


Welcome back, I hope everyone had a great vacation!


Just as a reminder, there is a Tri-M meeting on Tuesday, January 13th right after school. Come with some fundraising/other ideas!


SEMSBA registration is due on January 16th. Many of you have decided to audition was great, but we have to make it official! I am available afterschool at NHS on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for extra help. I am available afterschool at NMS on Wednesdays and Fridays. All recordings are on EdLine. Work hard and it should pay off!


Chorus Midterm: test questions and study guides are due by this Monday! (Which means Friday if you are the class that doesn't have me on Monday.)
