A world of choral experiences is opening up for you. As a student in Chorus I, you are also a member of the Concert Choir, which combines Vivace and Cantabile to form our principal upper-school choir. You’ll learn skills in music, communication, presentation, and vocal production and form the special bonds that only ensemble performance can create. You’ll perform at least four evening concerts and have the opportunity to audition for solos and All State ensembles.

Optional Second Elective as Pass/Fail: The typical course load is six classes. In the 8-9 division, students may opt to take a second elective in (visual arts, performing arts, or computer science) in lieu of a study hall. This is a good option for students who are exceptionally organized and tend to manage their time well; it is not a good option for students with busy extracurricular schedules or who struggle with time management and organization. The seventh class does not count as a graduation requirement. It will not appear on students’ transcripts, and it must be taken as Pass/Fail.
