Specific Ensemble Roles

Ensemble Assignments
Revised 9/13/13

This is a list of ensemble role assignments.  This list does not include leads.  Please be aware that the director, music director and vocal director may continue to make some adjustments during the first few weeks of vocal rehearsals.  Changes are likely to involve the assignments for chorus soloists in each song rather than re-assigning people to different songs.  This list can be used to begin determining your specific rehearsal schedule.  Remember to also check the Vocal Schedule.
