Choir begins in the sixth grade. These classes focus on establishing and developing basic musical and performance skills building from the general music classes at the elementary level.  These choirs offer a variety of performance opportunities including concerts, community events, and U.I.L. contests.  Students are also encouraged to participate in individual events such as Solo & Ensemble Contest and All-Region Choir auditions.  Participation at the high school level includes solo/ensemble, TMEA auditions, Show Choir, and U.I.L. concert and sight-reading competitions.
