The Plainfield Central Choral Department has been a long standing tradition for the high school. Since reopening its doors in 1992, the school and choir department have grown exponentially throughout the last two decades. The choir department features three curricular ensembles: Concert Choir, Treble Choir and Mixed Choir. Concert Choir is the most advanced curricular ensemble, made up of auditioned sophomores, juniors and seniors. Treble Choir, consisting of auditioned sophomore, junior and senior women, continue to grow on the curriculum and pedagogy taught in Mixed Choir, the entry level ensemble for all freshman, sophomore, junior and senior students.
It is our hope that the majority of students who register for choir as freshmen continue to perform in a chorale ensemble at Plainfield Central throughout their high school years. After being a committed member throughout one's high school career, students should be able to sight read music, understand the human voice, gain poise from performance experiences, appreciate the necessary components of teamwork and develop and intangible gift of self-expression. Beyond the academic and musical achievements, participating in choral ensembles will result in valuable friendships, high quality relationships, individual growth and lifelong memories from creating true musical moments. This combination of academic, group and individual skills will provide each student with a unique opportunity that only the performing arts can provide.
