Howard County Children's Chorus
Directors: Sharon Brown and Karyn Hobson 

Howard County Children's Chorus is an auditioned chorus of fourth and fifth graders with representation from the various public elementary schools in Howard County Public School System.  Students are challenged to learn a variety of music from various genres at an accelerated pace.  The chorus rehearses from September though May and performs three times a year.  Students who participate in this group also participate in chorus at their elementary school.
