Welcome to the CHS Choral Web site.
Welcome back to another school year. We have many things planned for the upcoming year. Hopefully you will have a chance to come and see the many things happening.
Currently, the CHS choral program is working to develop their musical theory skills. We are focusing on the development of interval recognition as well as how to better read the music that we encounter throughout the class.
Check here to get a preview of what you will be seeing for the upcoming concerts.
