Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to know how to sing or read music?
Not at all! The purpose of choir is to help you LEARN how to sing and how to read music. These are things we practice every day.
Does it cost money to be in choir?
There are some costs, but they are very small. We do fundraising to pay for most of our activities.
Are there performances outside of school?
We have many performances outside of school. Our concerts will typically be in the Southwood High School auditorium. We also travel outside of the district to festivals and competitions.
I already sing in the shower, why should I join choir?
Singing in choir can give you benefits that solo "shower" singing cannot. In choir you will learn how to sing in harmony and how to work together with your friends to make beautiful sounds.
How do I sign up?
Mark choir as your number one choice when you register for classes. We will take it from there! Sign up with a friend and have twice as much fun!
How often will I go to my elective choice?
Choir will meet everyday, during the day, just like math, science, and history...
