  • PNGHS Choral Ensembles

    Student vocalists are placed in a ensemble according to their vocal ability, attitude, participation, classification, and voicing needs. The three choral ensembles provide for a wide range of vocal abilities and time commitment.

    Indian Chorale

    Indian Chorale is a single block, auditioned choir made up of our top vocal students.  This vocal ensemble has many other requirements and some extra opportunities.  Students in Indian Chorale perform college level music at times, sing the National Anthem at home football games, are required to audition for Region Choir, participate in UIL Solo & Ensemble Contest, and perform with Indian Chorale at UIL Concert & Sightreading Evaluation.

    Mixed Choir

    Mixed Choir is a newly formed choir that is reserved for students in 10th, 11, or 12th grade that have had previous choral experience.  It is a single block class and builds on vocal skills previously learned.  During the year, students will have required concerts, performance opportunities, fun game nights, and possible trips.

    Concert Choir

    Concert Choir is a single block class for freshmen and those students new to choir.  As this class grows, we can add a 2nd concert choir.  Throughout the year we will review rhythms, solfege, and other choral concepts learned in middle school as well as learning new things to make us better vocalists and musicians.  During the year, students will have required concerts, performance opportunities, fun game nights, and possible trips.

    Advanced Vocal Techniques

    Not a choral ensemble, but a specialized vocal class for those wanting to better their vocal ability, this class is for students who are also currently enrolled in a choir class.  This class allows teachers to give more individualized instruction to students who want to further their vocal abilities and knowledge of their vocal instrument.  We learn more advanced Music Theory, basic diction for Latin, Italian, German, and French, IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), get extra help on Region music and UIL solos.
