There are three levels of choir currently:

Beginning Choir (mostly 6th grade)

Intermediate Choir (after completion of Beginning Choir)

Concert Choir (by audition only)

While the performing world has experienced obstacles during the pandemic, we will move forward together and build our knowledge and technique base, come together as a choral community, and support one another as learners and performers. 

In Grade 6, students will begin these skills, and cumulative knowledge and skills will continue advancing at each grade level.
