Choir students from High Bridge Middle School traveled to Voorhees High School on Friday, December 16 for an afternoon of musical fellowship and performances. Students had the opportunity to perform for each other and together as one choir. Seventh and eighth-grade students learned more about the music program at Voorhees High School while the younger students engaged in a fun musical activity led by High Bridge's choral director. It was a great day to be a Vike (and future Vike)!
**Postponed to Friday, December 16**
All student musicians in either band or choir need to have one of three approved department uniforms. Any student who is new to one of our ensembles will need to purchase this uniform. That information can be found by clicking on the picture to the left. Order forms and payment are due Friday, September 30. Returning members who already have a uniform should check to make sure the uniform still fits. If it does not, we can potentially exchange it for one of the extras that we have on hand so that you do not need to purchase another one.
Please consider joining this important organization and helping out in any way that you can. The 22-23 Membership Form is to the left of this post and any questions can be referred to Emma Alparone at ealparone@comcast.net
I hope you will be able to join us on Thursday, September 1 for Back to School night! If not, to the left of this post is a letter that I will pass out to parents that evening. Course syllabi can be found by navigating to the Course Descriptions section at the top of this website.
