The common bond in this choir is learning about music, and producing it for all to enjoy. Concert Choir sings music from a variety of backgrounds from classical to pop. Students learn musicianship, vocal quality, and performance skills. Yearly activities include 4 major concerts a year at the school site, participation in the All-District Music Festival, Spring Choral Music Festival, Music in the Parks Festival, and a special graduation performance. Every other year, members of the choir host and participate in the Young American National Music Outreach Tour, The ECHS Concert Choir is a performance based course with participation being the main factor in learning and grading.
Students participate in all performances.
