PNGHS Choral Ensembles
There are three choral ensembles at PN-G High School. Student vocalists are placed in a ensemble according to their vocal ability, attitude, participation, classification, and voicing needs. Students may move from ensemble to ensemble as deemed necessary or appropriate. The three choral ensembles provide for a wide range of vocal abilities and time commitment. The following is a brief description of the various groups that are associated with the PN-G High School Choir program.
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.
