Concert Choir is the point of entry into the high school vocal program for all students except freshmen girls, who should take Freshmen Girls’ Choir instead. It is also the vocal ensemble for students who are not taking Chamber Singers. Evaluation and grades are based on performance participation and musical proficiency. This course may be repeated each year for credit. Students who elect Concert Choir throughout their high school career will find that they will continue to be challenged as well as to improve their skills. Concert Choir is a performance-based class and concert participation is mandatory. Appropriate concert attire consisting of a white shirt and black pants or skirt is required.


Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

  • effectively perform their part in rehearsal and concerts
