Welcome Back, Panther Choir!
Welcome back, Panther Choir! 🎶 I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and is ready for an exciting new school year!
A special welcome to all of our new choir members and their families! Whether you're joining us as a freshman or coming to CHHS Choir for the first time as a sophomore, junior or senior, we are so excited to have you with us! We can't wait to get to know you, make music together, and see all that you bring to our program.
I'm also thrilled to officially begin Year Two at Colleyville Heritage! Last year was an incredible start, and I'm even more excited about where we are headed. we have so many opportunities ahead of us, great music to sing, performances to share, new traditions to build, and plenty of memories to make along the way.
Here's to a fantastic 2026-2027 school year! Let's make some music and make it a great one, Panthers! 🐾🎶

Making Memories Together
BOOSTER BEATS
Choir Booster Club Membership Drive
The CHHS Choir Booster Club works throughout the school year to support all Colleyville Heritage High School Choirs. Working in concert with the District and the CHHS Choir Director to ensure every student has an opportunity to grow in the choir department and enjoy their time learning and performing.
Membership dues and funds raised by the Booster Club help to fund or offset the costs of contest entry fees & transportation, concert venues & programs, scholarships, accompanist fees, celebratory social events for all choir members, and more.
I encourage our students to take advantage of the opportunities for competition this semester. Students who choose to participate in the District Choir Auditions (All-State Track) should already be preparing. It’s still early enough for anyone to jump on the competition wagon! Please do so ASAP so you don’t miss out on any helpful opportunities to prepare, grow, and advance. 🎶
This link will take you to the Region 31 Vocal Division website where you can find more information.
Sectionals and private lessons are offered daily and students should be practicing every day.
Please make sure to complete the contract and submit fees by the deadline. Students must remain academically eligible to participate.
Let Mr. Garza know if you have any questions!
Please consider taking advatage of our private lessons program! Weekly private instruction with our amazing teacher Mrs. Powell is a game changer for individual vocal growth! Fill out and return the form to get scheduled today!

We will be using SportsYou & Parent Square as our primary communication tool for the CHHS choir program.
