Choral Program: Purpose

Develop musically, intellectually, and personally.

“All ensembles, while performance-oriented, will work
to improve vocal technique, musical literacy, ear

and commitment of each student is vital. We strive to
be the best we can be in all respects: musicianship,
citizenship, and scholarship.”
