From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lake Braddock Chorus are a high school group that consists of 5 different choirs, that are part of the Lake Braddock Secondary School in Burke, Virginia. The choral groups are under the direction of Megan Cartwright. The five choirs are divided by skill level, as well as divided by the requirement of audition. The Men's Choir, Women's Vocal Ensemble and the female Freshmen in Bel Canto make up the non-auditioned choirs. There are as well two other choir groups that require audtions: Women's Select and Symphonic Chorale. The choirs have been very successful at competitions, winning almost every catergory they entered last in year in Nashville. The choirs also have turned out several highly successful singers, including a quarterfinalist for American Idol, and a handful of performers in musical theatre.

[edit] Men's Choir
Men's Choir is the only all male choir at Lake Braddock. Most men wishing to become members of Symphonic Chorale pass thru this class. Men's Choir is made up of between 16 and 30 odd boys at any one time. The work that Mrs. Cartwright does with them often varies. They compete and sing with Women's Vocal Ensemble; though, they sometimes perform on their own in the Spring concert.
[edit] Symphonic Chorale
Symphonic Chorale is the only completely mixed choir currently consisting of 7 Sopranos, 7 Altos, 7 Tenors and 7 Basses. Each of the four sections is divided into two subsections of three to four singers. The choir sings primarily a cappella music however they are expected to sing with the rest of the choirs during the major works and Disney Concerts. The group is also encouraged, by the conductor, to help the non-auditioned choirs with their music.
