Elementary Chorus
Welcome to Mr. B's Chorus!
The Choral Experience
The chorus program is for distinguished students seeking additional music experience in a large vocal performing ensemble. This ensemble is treated as a professional performance opportunity of high quality and caliber beyond the general music classroom. All of the repertoire chosen for this ensemble have higher than average music demands and challenges every student’s vocal and music theory abilities. We are looking forward to the upcoming seasonal winter and spring concerts as well as additional volunteer community concerts throughout the year. Students are expected to participate the full year with appropriate behavior and attendance while continuing to achieve academic goals in the general classroom. Chorus registration is open to all students in 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. Here’s to another successful year of beautiful singing together and making musical memories to last a lifetime.
Rehearsals
Rehearsals will begin on Wednesday, September 25th, 2024. Rehearsals are held Wednesdays from 3:00-4:00 pm in the elementary gymnasium.
