Chamber Choir

Chamber Choir is a group of mostly junior and senior choir members who audition to be a part of the group.  They meet before school on Tuesdays and Fridays.  They sing a variety of music: jazz, pop, Broadway, a cappella.  

Chamber Choir rehearses on Wednesday and Friday mornings 6:30-7:25 a.m. Students earn one-half credit for their participation in this ensemble. 

They perform at the annual Red Raider Showcase, Sounds of the Season, Solo and Ensemble, and Spring Concert each year.
