Generally, there are five outside of class rehearsals a semester. The Senior High choirs represent the culmination of the Plano ISD choral program. The choirs are comprised of not only experienced choral students, but also beginning singers in their first year of study. Students are placed in the ensembles best suited to their individual talents, abilities and needs. Placement is through audition and teacher recommendation.
Heavy emphasis is placed on the importance of music as a performing art.
The performance-oriented ensembles strive to provide aesthetic and creative outlets for individual as well as group expression. Credit is also given for concert performance. The choirs perform a number of concerts and programs each year. Honors credit is available to students who complete an additional amount of work outside the basic choir curriculum. This includes theory assignments, participation in a juried recital and a research project.
