Choir
Do you love music??? Here at Santa Ana High School, we offer 3 different choir levels to accommodate any interested singer. If you are a beginner, no audition is required. We offer a Beginning Men's and a Beginning Women's choir. Here you will develop your singing skills, learn many different styles of music, and how to read music! All interested singers are welcome!
If you have already sung before, and have earned an A or B in choir, you can be registered for Concert Choir without an audition. However, if you have experience singing, but did not sing in choir, you may audition for Concert Choir or Chamber Singers. These are both classified as Conservatory Choirs. Please contact Mrs. Cobb-Woll if you wish to schedule an audition.
Our two most advanced choirs are Chamber Singers and Jazz Choir. These two groups are always very busy. They perform out in the community often, have traveled to New York several times, have sung at Carnegie Hall in New York, have sung in the Disneyland often, singing the National Anthem at Angel Games and have been the opening act for the All-American Boys Choir Christmas Concert just to mention a few.
San Arts also offers Show Choir. This is a composite class that includes: Jazz Choir, voice lessons, Spanish Pop, Vocal Master Classes and Show Choir training. This class includes learning how to prepare for professional auditions for both musical theater and majoring in vocal music in college. This all takes place after school and includes singers from Chamber Singers and Concert Choir.
We certainly hope that you will consider joining our Singing Saints family.
