Audition Information and Times
Dear Choral Student –
In addition to your regular school chorus that meets during the school day, the Pennsbury Music department also has a Middle School Honor Choir. This choir meets on Tuesday nights from 6:00 – 7:15pm at PHS West in Kellar Hall during the Spring semester (a map is at the bottom of this page). It is designed to give students who excel in music an opportunity to sing challenging repertoire, learn sight singing skills, and improve musical technique.
