Jr. Vocal Ensemble

The Jr. Vocal Ensemble is a 18-voice auditioned ensemble made up of Grade 9 and 10 students.  The purpose of this group is to provide an opportunity for younger students to develop their singing skills in an ensemble setting.   Students in J.V.E. sing a wide variety of music, are given solo opportunities and receive an introduction to singing on microphones.  They perform at all the major MCI concerts, Choral Fest, Red River Valley of the Arts and at Churches.  Many members of this group graduate to MCI’s premier vocal group Resonate.  The Junior Vocal Ensemble is directed by Marilyn Houser Hamm, now in her 5th year of teaching at MCI.
