The Lake Brantley Chorus is a diverse, supportive community of students dedicated to making beautiful music! Joining Chorus is an outstanding way for students - regardless of their past experiences with singing - to get involved, make friends, and find a new passion!

All students in the Lake Brantley Chorus should understand the following expectations:

• There are several major time commitments:

  • • Afterschool rehearsals

    • Evening and weekend performances

    • Performances off-campus, sometimes out of state

    • Individual at-home practice is required

• Students are assigned by the director to one of many ensembles based on their experience, abilities, and ensemble needs.

• Students are required to pay annual participation fees and engage in fundraising to support Chorus activities

• There are standards for behavior and personal grooming required of all participants to create a cohesive, high-performing ensemble.

• Important Note: One of the greatest strengths of the Lake Brantley Chorus is that students are encouraged to participate in other campus activities, including athletics, other performing arts, and leadership and service groups. Students who have other obligations are not expected to prioritize Chorus, but they are expected to coordinate with the director and manage their time responsibly.
