The Carthage Choir presents concerts of both anthems and longer works, sings for school and community functions, hosts an annual choral workshop,takes an annual spring tour, and tours in Europe every third J-Term. Membership by individual audition. A typical rehearsal might include routines for vocalizing, drills for musicianship, and rehearsing for performance. This all culminates in several short performances each term, a central role in the Christmas concerts, a tour of up to ten days during spring break, and a three-week overseas tour each third January. In the early fall, the choir schedules an overnight retreat at a nearby camp facility.
Membership is for the full academic year.
In both cases, the grade is dependent on attendance and effort, not on musical talent or prior musical training.
