PREMIER MIXED VOCAL ENSEMBLE

The Academy Singers performance group is Brentwood Academy’s premier mixed vocal ensemble. This auditioned group features 12 -16 of the most talented students who perform for various school, church, and community events throughout the year. As Academy Singers, students expand their knowledge of music theory, sight-reading, ear training, and the many facets of the use of the vocal instrument including proper tone, breath control, posture, blending, and diction.

The primary focus of the group is on advanced a cappella music, usually consisting of eight or more parts. In addition to live shows, The Academy Singers produce a highly-anticipated, annual CD.

Auditions are held in the spring.
