The Robed Choir is the premier vocal ensemble at Central High School and has been a part of the school since 1950. Singers still perform in the original cherry robes that the first members of the group performed in. The Robed Choir is a 36-voice, auditioned ensemble made up of singers from 10th-12th grade. This group meets four times a week and each student receives an individual lesson every week. Students in this ensemble have an opportunity to engage in the performance and understanding of distinctive and challenging vocal literature. Singers in Robed Choir learn numerous skills through various experiences - much of what they focus on is: vocal health, styles of music from all eras, world languages, musical independence, working as a team and as an individual, sight reading, stage presence, and discipline. Students will also learn the importance of their contribution in preparing performances and gain an appreciation of the process involved in creating musical excellence.
The Robed Choir is under the direction of Ian Schultz and accompanied by Kim Shively.
