ABOUT THE CHOIRS ![]() The Badger State Girl Choir, LLC is an independent organization and an officially authorized corporation in the state of Wisconsin. It is an artistic partner with the Valley Academy for the Arts in that they coordinate common goals, philosophies and, by legal agreement, share in endeavors such as marketing and facilities. The choir was founded in 2006 to provide girls from the lower Fox River Valley an opportunity to sing high quality choral music in an integrated arts learning environment…a unique opportunity afforded by association with the Valley Academy for the Arts. Anne Marie Abderholden, Executive Director of the Valley Academy for the Arts, was an important visionary regarding the establishment of a cooperative partnership in Neenah. PRIMA CHOIR Prima (meaning “first”) is the Badger State Girl Choir’s beginning level ensemble. Open to girls in grades 2-4, it focuses on develop ing
good
choral tone, proper breathing techniques for singing,
notation reading,
and beautiful unison singing. They venture into some two-part
music
and “partner songs” but primarily focus on building strong and healthy
vocal technique while acquiring a love for choral music
in our unique
integrated arts program. Autumn Meyers is the Prima choir Director.VIVACE CHOIR Vivace (meaning lively and animated) is our more advanced level ensemble and the principal performing group within the Badger State Girl Choir. Open to girls in grades 5-8, it offers a challenging and exciting artistic adventure into great choral music. This ensemble continues to develop good singing techniques and reading skills, but in addition, they work on part singing, and performance practice to a much higher level. Vivace is also the flagship choir for the organization, representing us through performances with symphonies, adult choral groups, and for select performances both in Neenah and beyond. Kevin Meidl is the Vivace Choir Director. REHEARSAL TIMES AND LOCATIONS
