Vocal Ensembles

Brisbane State High School has a thriving Vocal Ensembles program which enables students to participate in singing and enjoy musical interaction with other students.

Our ensembles rehearse once a week and perform at competitions, eisteddfods, Creative Generation as well as school events, including Vocal Soiree, Student Leaders’ Induction Ceremony, ANZAC Day Commemorative Ceremony, Foundation Day and Year 12 Graduation. In addition, students are encouraged to participate in our annual Vocal Soiree as soloists and in small vocal ensembles. Vocal Ensembles students enjoy participating in these ensembles and this enhances their musical skills as well. 

For more information about our Vocal Ensembles program, download the Vocal Ensembles Handbook (PDF, 242KB).

From time to time, the type and number of ensembles may vary. The current structure is as follows:

• Girls Show Choir
  Year 7 – 12 girls vocal ensemble 
• Bellissima
  Year 7 – 12 experienced girls vocal ensemble
• Ragazzi
  Year 7 – 12 boys vocal ensemble
• Chorale
  Experienced mixed boys and girls vocal ensemble. This is a balanced group of selected senior vocalists who perform more advanced, 4-part vocal repertoire.

It is free to download and does not incur a membership fee. Team App keeps member contact details private and students cannot communicate with each other through the app.
