Participants in this group must have advanced music reading skills, great pitch, and superior organization and communication skills.

Excused absences for performances and rehearsals are due two weeks prior to the event or earlier.  

This choir will attend competition(s) and community events along with three McAuliffe concerts, District Choral Festival, and Knott’s Berry Farm. To be eligible for participation, students must be enrolled in another music ensemble at McAuliffe.
