"The only thing better than singing is more singing" 

- Ella Fitzgerald

The Righetti High School Choirs has a strong tradition of excellence in choral music spanning several decades.  RHS Choirs are often in demand for performances along California's Central Coast.  Under the direction of Matthew Ringer, the choral program boasts 4 separate performing ensembles - each choir given separate performance opportunities at concerts throughout the year.  Earning a seat, either by audition or registration, in any of the performance ensembles at Righetti High School is a privilege not to be taken lightly.

It is our hope that the vast majority of students who register for choir as freshman continue to perform in a choral ensemble at Righetti throughout their high school years.  At the end of a multiple year commitment to the RHS Choir Program, students should be able to sight read music, know basic areas of music history, understand the physiology of the human voice, gain poise from performance experiences, appreciate the necessary components of teamwork, and develop the intangible gift of self-expression.  This combination of academic, group and individual skills will provide each student with a unique, lifelong opportunity that only the fine arts can enable.

Incoming students, no matter what grade they are in, may register for Concert Choir. Auditions are held each Spring and Fall for membership in Varsity Choir and Madrigals.  It is the expectation that all students who sign up for any choir commit to a full year.
