ShowTime - 6th Grade Girls - Beginning Treble Choir

This is a non-audition choir whose focus is to create a unified sisterhood amongst diverse personalities, talents and abilities. Our goal is always to support each other and work as a team. These performers will develop quality in vocal tone, sight-reading, and performance technique throughout the year. They will be provided multiple opportunities to perform on stage.

ShowStars - 7th Grade Girls - Intermediate Treble Choir

This non-audition choir, composed of 7th grade girls, will be expected to read challenging music and learn how to create a quality vocal tone with more difficult music and choreography. Unified movements and cohesive performances come from focus and dedication during rehearsals and class time, which are essential to success. Teamwork, support, and building each other up are essential to mastering challenging material and growing musically as a unified group. ShowStars will be provided multiple opportunities to perform on stage and at one or more community events or competitions.

ShowStoppers - 7th & 8th Grade Girls - Advanced Treble Choir

This girl's choir reaches the highest level of performance and dedication. Performers in this group should expect long hours of rehearsal in preparation to compete at the highest middle school level. Auditions are required for any 7th grade girl desiring to be part of this choir, which is otherwise comprised of 8th grade girls.

Prior show choir experience is preferred for all ShowStoppers, and a high level of dedication is required in order to be successful on stage.  Team spirit and the desire for each member to perform their best ensures we "have each other's backs" on and off-stage. There will be a handful of required out-of-school rehearsals and extra competition choreography rehearsals as scheduled by the director to prepare for competitions. ShowStoppers will have multiple opportunities to perform on stage, including travel locally during the year to approximately 3 competitions.

ShowMen - 6th, 7th & 8th Grade Tenor/Bass Choir

Oak is one of the only middle schools in California to have a BOY'S Choir. It is modeled after Los Al High's tenor/bass choir, Xtreme. This choir is composed of non-auditioned 6th, 7th & 8th graders, who work to create a strong team ethic amongst diverse personalities, talents and energies. Prior show choir experience is preferred for all upper-grade men and a high level of dedication is required of all ShowMen in order to be successful on stage. Our goal is to build up and support each other and "to have each other's backs." There will be a handful of required out-of school rehearsals and extra competition choreography rehearsals as scheduled by the director to prepare for competitions. ShowMen will have multiple opportunities to perform on stage, including travel locally during the year to approximately 3 competitions.

ShowCase Singers - 7th & 8th Grade Boys & Girls - Advanced Mixed Choir

ShowCase is Oak's only mixed performance group and the only group based in a concert choral tradition. Combining "stand and sing'' performances and full, choreographed show sets, ShowCase students perform at the highest level vocally and are expected to work with diligence, focus and independence. Music will be difficult and extremely challenging as will choreography when applicable. Auditions are mandatory for those desiring to be in this group. Prior choir experience and a strong level of commitment are a must. Auditions assess the individual's ability to perform and read music, while also ranking vocal quality and dancing ability to prepare for the performances and competitions.  ShowCase will perform at competitions, community functions and are the musical ambassadors for Oak. Other possible opportunities are: an overnight trip to a choral competition, a mini-musical production, and competing locally as a mixed-show choir. ShowCase meets during zero period each day, and students are expected to arrive focused and ready to work. Mandatory out-of-school rehearsals will be expected to take priority over other after school activities.
