Audio & Video Recording
The concert will be both professionally audio & video
recorded so NO electronic devices should be used to
during the concert.
The Fairfax County Public Schools Music Program of Studies requires the
performance of literature that is both sacred and secular. Balance of music
selected and performed from among historical and contemporary composers,
genres and periods are achieved through the course of a year’s instruction
and not within any individual concert.
Thank you for
a wonderful year!

Concert Etiquette
Here are a few tips to help:
* Audience members should be seated and quiet when the
performance is in progress. If you are videotaping a portion of the
performance, please do so from the rear of the auditorium.
* If it is necessary to arrive late or leave before the concert is over,
please do so between musical selections.
* Clapping is the appropriate way to show appreciation for the
performance. Whistling, yelling or screaming is not appropriate at any
time before, during or after a concert.
* Parents should keep small children seated with them and not allow
them to move around during the concert. If very young children
become restless and disrupt others’ abilities to listen, please take them
away from the performance area until they are quiet.
* It is customary to welcome the director with applause.
* Listeners and performers are distracted by extra sounds and
movements from the audience.
* Please, no flash photography.
* Hats or caps should be removed during a concert.
* No food or beverages are allowed in the theater.
* Some musical works have extended endings, several parts or
multiple movements. The audience is expected to applaud only after all movements have been performed. The conductor’s hands will drop at
the conclusion.
* Cellular phones and pagers interrupt a performance. Please be sure
they are turned off.

South Lakes Choral Program
Throughout their four years in the South Lakes High School Choral
Program, students learn vocal technique, music literacy, and
develop an appreciation and in depth understanding of various
musical genres including Classical, Jazz, Pop, Opera, Broadway,
and World. They participate in adjudications and performances at
venues throughout the United States and beyond. Students develop
proper auditioning skills and participate in District, Regional, State,
and National level choirs. They take part in making professional
recordings and workshop with renowned professional musicians in
the classroom. Students learn to arrange music, student direct
performances and become independent musicians. Participation in
community outreach performances and programs and the Tri-M
music honor society enable students to enhance leadership skills,
earn service hours, and share their passion for music with the
greater community.
The South Lakes Choral Department is honored to be the recipient
of the 2011 American Association for People with Disabilities
(AAPD) Inclusion & Diversity in the Arts Award. AAPD is the
largest non-profit cross disability organization in the United States.
The award was presented at the 2011 AAPD Gala in front of an
audience of over 900 Congressmen, Ambassadors, and Advocates
from around the country who provide support and leadership for
people with disabilities. Members of the South Lakes Choral
Department performed for this audience which included Secretary
of Education, Arne Duncan, and Lauren Potter who plays ‘Becky’
on the hit FOX TV show GLEE.
The South Lakes Choral Department consistently earns Superior
ratings at adjudication festivals and due to combined efforts of the
South Lakes High School Chorus, Band and Orchestra the Music
Department continues to be awarded a Blue Ribbon by the Virginia
Music Educators Association.

The South Lakes Choral Department continues to provide students
with exciting enrichment opportunities. Our Advanced Choirs
proudly performed in Carnegie Hall in New York, NY on March 17,
2019, at the invitation from the Choirs for America. Some of our
students, and many other area high school students, participated in
the Youth Harmony Festival, organized by the Alexandria
Harmonizers, in April, learning to sing and perform in four-part a
cappella harmony. The day concluded with a show featuring Hot
Pursuit, Signature, The Quintones, Alexandria Harmonizers, and all
the participating students.
