Middle Years Choir 2023

Dear Grade 5 – 8 Students & Families,
This spring, we invite you to take advantage of our community outreach music education program: a free-of-charge, un-auditioned choir for singers from grades 5 – 8 in the Pembina Valley!
At the middle school level, not all students have equal opportunity to sing as part of choir(s) within their own schools, and even students who DO have access to choir at school often do not get to make music as often as they might like! In previous years, we have offered the choir for GVSD students, however we feel that it is truly important that ALL middle years students have access to quality singing - regardless of the division they're registered in.
The middle years are a crucial point of vocal development as students are growing physically and experiencing a voice change, and it is so important to continue to provide instruction and experience for all students who wish to sing, regardless of previous experience and/or musical background.
