Choir

5th-6th Grade

The choral arts provide students with an opportunity to build confidence in performing in public, and an appreciation of the arts. Every school in Clovis Unified has formal choral and instrumental music offered to students in grades 4-6. Multiple times during the year, our students perform in choral festivals representing our school.
