We Are The "Seaside Singers"
We are the "Seaside Singers" at First Flight High School in
Kill Devil Hills, NC. We offer two singing groups in our Fine Arts Department - Glee Choir for grades 9-12 and an Concert Choir (audition only) for grades 9-12. This year our classes meet 60 minutes every day and classes run all year. Our chorus director is Cezette Barnes and our accompanist is Steve Blackstock.
CONCERT CHOIR
We enjoy performing at school, in the community and when we travel. Our favorite place to perform at FFHS is in the center of the rotunda. The acoustics are excellent. We stand in a large circle around the compass rose and face each other. It is an amazing sound! Last year we performed on the steps of the Capitol in Washginton, D.C. and at the National Cathedral. We performed at Ground Zero in New York in 2007 and plan to return in the spring of 2012. New York, here we come!

Our first community concert is scheduled for Sunday, October 23 @ Duck United Methodist Church @ 4 PM. The choir and the orchestra will perform separately and then combine for final selections. Many styles of music will be included in the program.
We are looking forward to our next Choral Festival, scheduled for the middle of February. Our guest choristers will be visiting from Connecticut and will touring the east coast. The choir of 30 members visit every other year and our combined high school choirs enjoy socializing with workshops, game activities, dinners, rehearsals and our final concert.
This year the Concert Choir will be performing in our black robes with the new stoles bearing our FFHS colors of white and blue.
GLEE CHOIR
The Glee Choir will wear informal beach concert attire -black chorus t-shirts, jeans and tennis shoes. This year several of our dance students will choreograph songs. Last year we choreographed a song from "Annie" that was so much fun. We also plan to work on many pop songs, including "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. We have a good year planned for everyone.
