Members of the madrigal choir also attend A Cappella on Wednesday and act as section leaders for the freshman and sophomores.

HOW WE ARE GOING TO SING SAFE during COVID-19. We are fortunate to be able to hold our choral rehearsals in the choral room which has adequate space. The students can distance and remain masks as was the recommendation from the most recent aerosol study. All singers will stay masked throughout the rehearsal. Student safety is our number one concern. We will be sanitizing and cleaning chairs and surfaces upon entering and exiting to insure a healthy environment. We ask that every singer have a mask that will cover both the nose and chin when opening to sing those beautiful tall vowels. Choral students may want to have a new mask to wear for after school rehearsals. Mrs. Schurman will also have additional disposable masks available to students who need to refresh.
