Chorus
The magnet Chorus program is made up of three performance group, of which have won multiple awards in the past decade from FFMC and MPA. These are the Mixed Choir, the Girl's Beginning Chorus, and the Vocal Ensemble. All of which learn repertoire throughout the year and perform at the three concerts the program produces every school year. Some students (those in the Ensemble and Vocal Technique classes) learn solos and small ensemble pieces which they compete with and perform at state- and regional-level conventions, as well as a select few at concerts. All students take a required theory class in their 6th grade year, or whichever year they enter the school, and learn how to play the piano at a beginners level.

Famous quotes containing the word chorus:
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
“For decades child development experts have erroneously directed parents to sing with one voice, a unison chorus of values, politics, disciplinary and loving styles. But duets have greater harmonic possibilities and are more interesting to listen to, so long as cacophony or dissonance remains at acceptable levels.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
“Come on, clown, sing us a chorus of Pagliacci.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
