QUESTION 2 OF 30

How do you create different choir formations?

Having different choir formations allows your choirs to be successful in different ways. Speak to a time you had separate formations for different choirs and/or at different venues. This way, you can prove to the interviewer that you create schemes for best results.

"A couple of years ago, my Madrigals choir had the opportunity to sing at the local Cathedral. The echo in the church is real and our normal formation going boy, girl, boy, girl was causing some problems during rehearsal. So, I separated the choir apart to help them hear each other better. It worked out in the end and the effect had an even better sound from the students. The students certainly were frustrated at first and then positive when they could hear each other at the end."
