College Park High School offers four curricular vocal music ensembles: Concert Choir, Bella Voce, Chamber Singers, and Tenor-Bass Choir.
Concert Choir and Tenor-Bass Choir are beginning-level choirs for all students who want to learn how to sing in a group setting and develop their voices. Bella Voce and Chamber Singers are advanced level ensembles, enrollment is limited by an audition process, prerequisite, or instructor recommendation. Chamber Singers is an honors-level course with a weighted GPA (5.0 for an A).
Students take part in a variety of learning and performing experiences and fundraising activities. Each year the Choirr Department puts on the popular series of concerts and fundraisers, and the students travel to performances and festivals, including frequent performances at the Disneyland theme parks, New York, and New Orleans.
The choirs at College Park are co-curricular classes, meaning that participation in some activities outside of the normal class period is a required component of the course.
Concerts and some other events are an extension of the classroom and attendance is required, even though it is outside of the regular school day. If you are unable to attend, a replacement performance assignment may be arranged.
Choir trips are optional activities that are completely outside of the class curriculum, and as such are not required for participation in the choir.
There are no mandatory fees or expenses involved with choir enrollment at College Park.
