Why are we offering this choir?

The middle years are a crucial point of vocal development as students are growing physically and experiencing a voice change. While there are many fabulous music opportunities being offered to Middle Years students at the different schools in our division, not all students have equal access to choirs (and even those who do might not be able to get enough singing!)

We believe it is important to continue to provide instruction and experience for all students who wish to sing, regardless of previous experience and/or musical background. 

Who can join this choir?

This choir is open to ALL grade 5-8 students within the Garden Valley School Division (this includes homeschool students)!
​
Singers are asked to do their best to attend all rehearsals in order to help us reach our musical goals in such a short time together, but we are happy to have any students join us whenever they are able! 

There is NO cost, and it is never too late to join!
​All supplies used will be from existing choral repertoire and materials within our division. 

Rehearsal Dates & Times

All rehearsals will take place in the GVC Choir Room. It is located in GVC East (Old Administration Building, small building across from Dairy Queen/Ralph’s).

Boys & Girls will spend time rehearsing separately as well as together, in order to maximize comfort & growth for all!
