7th and 8th Grade Chorus is a daily class that offers the opportunity for students to learn about vocal health and technique, learn how to read a choral score, experience new genres of music, understand WHY we sing, and create meaningful memories singing with peers. Students are encouraged to try out for the extracurricular Advanced Chorus that meets once a week after school to gain more performance experience.
