West Middle School Choirs
Emerick Dee, Conductor
Erich Wangeman, Co-Conductor
West Middle School Choirs are a family of people who care deeply about each other, and we are a team that is passionate about singing! We are loyal friends who love learning and growing together as we develop character for life and skills to sing...with our attitudes, actions, and voices. We believe that our success is defined by the self-satisfaction in knowing that we've done the best of which we're capable. We live by a code that gives us perspective and balance as we strive to be the best we can be in every area of life and singing. Our choirs work hard and play hard. We believe that hard work is fun and that a difficult challenge is worth all the effort we can put forth. We celebrate our success throughout the year in the classroom and specifically at our choir code celebration each fall...an all-day event involving special guests and tons of food, fun and fellowship with family and friends! We become well-rounded musicians by learning how to read music through engaging games and activities. We enjoy singing a variety of styles and genres in multiple languages focusing on superior tone quality, intonation, rhythmic precision, diction, dynamics, and overall presentation. We are highly respected in our school, community, state, and beyond as a premier choral program. We are the Traverse City West Middle School Choirs and we love to SING!
