Choir Picture Day is January 24th
Wednesday, January 24th, will be choir picture day. Students will take their photos during their individual class periods. They will need their full concert attire including socks and shoes.
Students will have about 5 minutes to dress at the beginning of class and will have time after the photo to change back into school clothes. CLICK HERE to download and print the picture order form if you wish to purchase a photo package. There is also an option to purchase individual or "buddy" student photos in their dress or tuxedo. Ignore the “sports” logo. Or...just think of us as a "team"!

IMPORTANT! Friday, April 20th is our Masterworks Concert. This is an important, graded performance for students in our advanced choirs. Based on past experience, we feel it is important to remind students and families in advance in order to avoid potential conflicts (i.e. Coachella - buy tickets for the 1st weekend instead of the 2nd, etc.). Please do not schedule other plans or appointments on this date, and please work to resolve any conflicts which may currently be an issue. Thank you.

This is a great opportunity for our creative and talented students.
