Hello & Welcome to Chorus!!!!!
Welcome to our Middle School Chorus family! My name is Dr. Strutt and I am the choral music director for HMS. Whether you love to sing in the car, on stage, or you're just curious about what chorus is all about - you belong here.
This is a place where we explore music together, grow as singers, and have a lot of fun along the way. You don't need to be a pro - just bring your voice, your energy, and a willingness to try.
Here on our site, you'll find everything you need:
I'm so glad you're here - let's make some music!
