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.
