To be eligible to audition, students must have entered the 7th through 11th grades by the fall of 2009 and must be a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. Choir hopefuls need to bring a copy of their blue Cherokee Nation citizenship card and a letter of recommendation from a school official with them to their audition. The school letter should state that the student is currently in good standing at his or her school. The Cherokee National Youth Choir performs traditional Cherokee songs in the Cherokee language. The Choir is made up of 40 Cherokee young people from northeastern Oklahoma communities. Its members are middle and high school youth between 6th and 12th grades. The students compete in rigorous auditions every year for inclusion in the Cherokee National Youth Choir. The Cherokee National Youth Choir is funded solely by the Cherokee Nation, and administered through the Cherokee Nation Education Department. The group has recorded eight CDs, and has received numerous national awards for their music and ambassadorship. To learn more, please visit the CNYC online. Auditions are by appointment only and may be scheduled by contacting Kathy Sierra, phone: 918-453-5638 or youthchoir@cherokee.org. |
