EXTRACURRICULAR CHOIRS
Two audition-based ensembles offer students the opportunity to further expand and enhance their vocal talents. Students wishing to participate in either the Select Women's Ensemble or the Men's Chorale should have few conflicts with the heavy performance schedule. There are no points accumulated for these ensembles, but attendance at every rehearsal and performance is required in order to maintain membership.
