North Royalton Vocal Music Department
North Royalton High School Vocal Department has had at least one choir since its founding. The oldest performing group is the Concert Choir made up of SATB singers from different grade-levels. In the 1980s North Royalton expanded to include "Royal Harmony", a competing SATB show choir. The founding of this group was due in large part to Kim Brickman's enthusiasm. In addition to choirs, the Vocal Department at North Royalton helps to produce an annual Musical each spring.
There are currently four choirs: Freshman Choir, Concert Choir, Royaltones, and Royal Harmony.
Royal Harmony competed on February 18, 2012, at the Medina Midwest Competition. This was the first time the group had competed in over 30 years. They were awarded with second runner-up in Class B, marking a new era of Royal Harmony's pursuit of excellence in the art of dancing and singing.
