The Lake Braddock Chorus are a high school group that consists of 5 different choirs, that are part of the Lake Braddock Secondary School in Burke, Virginia. The choral groups are under the direction of Megan Cartwright. The five choirs are divided by skill level, as well as divided by the requirement of audition. The Men's Choir, Women's Vocal Ensemble and the female Freshmen in Bel Canto make up the non-auditioned choirs. Women's Select and Symphonic Chorale make up the auditioned choirs. The choirs have won many awards, including in 2006, winning almost every category they entered in Nashville. In 2007, the choir performed in New York City near the site of the former World Trade Center buildings. The choirs also have turned out several highly successful singers, including a quarterfinalist for American Idol, and a handful of performers in musical theater.
Men's Choir
Men's Choir is the only all male choir at Lake Braddock. Most members of Symphonic Chorale start initially in this class. The variety of works that are done with this group varies based on the director's discretion. They compete and sing with Women's Vocal Ensemble; this group sometimes preforms alone during the Spring concert.
Lake Braddock Singers
The Lake Braddock Singers is comprised of 7 Sopranos, 7 Altos, 7 Tenors and 7 Basses. This group was originally known as Symphonic Chorale. Each of the four sections is divided into two subsections of three to four singers. The choir sings primarily a cappella music however they are expected to sing with the rest of the choirs during the major works and Disney Concerts. The group is also encouraged, by the director, to help the non-auditioned choirs with their music.
The changing of the name from Symphonic Chorale to Lake Braddock Singers was made by the director in [2007] for the 2007-2008 school year. It was changed, mainly from a discrepancy between the term "symphonic chorale" and the actual music sung by the choir. The group in the 2007-2008 year will be smaller than the previous 2006-2007 Symphonic Chorale, consisting of only 6 altos and sopranos and an a currently unknown number of male singers.
Select Women
Select Women is a traditional womens choir of approximately 35 10th-12th graders; this number varies from year to year. It is one of the two auditioned choirs at Lake Braddock, the other being the LB Singers (originally Symphonic Chorale). Select Women sings in four parts regularly. Members of this group are expected to be leaders in the Choral program.
