Albertville City Schools | Music

Under the direction of Scott Rains since its inception, the nationally-recognized AHS show choir has grown from a small group performing a medley of songs to the present cast of 54 singer/dancers along with a full band and stage crew. Members and their families will travel this year to Ohio, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Illinois, allowing our students to compete nationwide and allowing our students to make connections with students from all over the country CenterStage! was at the top of their competitive game in the 2009 season as they performed their show “Days of Future Past.” The mix of traditional theatrical production and modern show choir brought great success, both locally and throughout the country. If you thought last year was great, you are in for a treat as CenterStage! presents their 2010 competitive show Faces.

CenSations!

CenSations! was created in the fall of 2008 due to the overwhelming number of performers in the high school and middle school choral programs. The CenSations! debut season was an outstanding success as the 60+ choir, band, and crew members performed their show There and Back Again to full audiences throughout the south, winning critical acclaim at each of the three competitions they entered. The CenSations! members look forward to their 2009-2010 season and performing in their new fine arts center. They are under the direction of Scott Rains.

VocalEase

VocalEase was created in 1996 as a performance-oriented ensemble for selected older students who enjoy the challenges associated with learning and performing a huge repertoire of music in pop, gospel, and jazz styles.
