Bass Choir

BY MEGAN LENANE AND ALLY ZAUCHE

This year the Western Dubuque High School music department decided to add a new choir to the school, making the school have four choirs. The new choir this year is the bass choir, which is a choir made up of men; thus, it is also called the “men's choir.” WDHS decided to add this choir to its curriculum because there was an all-girls choir, which students took an interest in. The number of people in the bass choir this year is 14, which is very good for its first year. The unique thing about the bass choir is the different sound and type of music they sing. The music they sing is more barber-shop because their pitches range from tenor to bass, which gives them a unique sound compared to the rest of the choirs. The grades involved in bass choir range from freshmen to seniors, covering the whole high school spectrum. The students involved seem to enjoy bass choir and think it is a great addition to the school. We wish them good luck and a great year. Go bass choir!
