This is the full choir experience stuents receive once they continue music into middle school. Students will have choir every day, same time, with the entire choir!
At Holt Crossing, we start in smaller groups to form bonds and learn quickly with a smaller student to teacher ratio.
Holt Choir DOES perform as one large choir, usually anwhere from 70-120 students at once!
Listen to the 2022-2023 Westland High School Chorale sing "Believer" by Imagine Dragons. This advanced vocal group sing in 4-8 voice parts using only their voices to create an a cappella style of a pop tune. Many members were former HCI and PV students!
Full Choir sings one of their favorite warm-ups called "harmonize." Student leaders are in the front leading our movement. This is one of many ways students practice hearing and singing harmonies from 2- 4 parts.
Choir is at the end of the day at Holt Crossing. Students are ready for a fun class that has movement and less sitting. In choir, we use our bodies to engage our thinking and singing every day!
One of the first skills students will learn is how to sing and match each other's qualit of sound. This vowel shape exercise is used from 6th -8th grade to continue advancing vocal skills as we learn harder music and sound mature as years pass.

Forward to time 4:50 in the video above to view fun photos and videos of our choir program and beyond!
PVMS/HCI Choir is a 2-3 year long program where many friendships and memories are made within music and beyond. This is one of our annual videos created to showcase our 8th graders as they depart to high school on our last concert night of middle school. Students choose their song to sing as pictures and videos scroll behind them.
Each 8th grader gets their own slide to be recognized, and then we celebrate many moments made within the last 2-3 years as a music team, 6th through 8th grade.
