24th St.
About 24th St.
This ensemble is the most traditional and long standing ensemble in the choral department at Golden High School. Known for their advanced repertoire and costumed handbell caroling, this choir had gained notoriety around Golden and Denver. Unfortunately in the past few years, amongst a plethora of changing teachers trying to hold onto their values, 24th St. started to slip away from previous expectation. As of now we have officially been invited back into the Jefferson County choir scene where they strive to make appearances at festivals and ultimately All State!
