Choirs by Grade!
6th Grade Classes:
Choir: 5th & 6th Periods
6th Grade rehearses as two choirs to keep our numbers low enough for optimal learning, but performs as one ensemble!
This class provides students the opportunity to explore several forms of music in an expressive learning environment. In this choir, you can expect to learn how to blend voices in unison and be challenged in two part harmony singing.
Two evening performances are required: one in January and the second in May with the 7th & 8th grade.
7th Grade Classes: (*)
Choir -4th Period
7th Grade rehearses as one choir, so make sure to bring your A-game to keep our 70 member chorus on task for optimal learning!
