General Updates
November was an awesome month for our choir community! Our students took part in several major events, and their leadership and musicianship truly stood out.
Feeder Festival & Concert
Our Concert Choir singers were phenomenal ambassadors for SHS. They welcomed middle school students with kindness, helped guide rehearsals, and performed with confidence. We are so proud of the way they represented our program.
ILMEA District 7 Festival
Congratulations to our 6 students who participated in ILMEA this year! Being selected is a huge honor, and our students performed beautifully at the choral festival.

Variety Show
Choir students shined onstage and backstage! Their creativity and dedication were evident in every act, and they helped make the show a memorable highlight of the month.
Highlights of the Month
We are heading into our Winter Concert season, and students have been working incredibly hard to bring their music to life. Multiple ensembles will be rehearsing together throughout early December, building ensemble unity and preparing for the stage.
Bake Sale Fundraiser
We’re excited to announce that our Choir Bake Sale Fundraiser will take place immediately after the Winter Concert.
Families can stop by the tables in the lobby to grab a treat while supporting the choir program. Our choir students will be providing the baked goods for the sale, and cash is encouraged for quicker purchases.
All proceeds will go directly toward enhancing student experiences throughout the year. Thank you in advance for your support and for helping make this fundraiser a success!
Choir Parent Volunteer Crew (PVC) Launch
We officially launched our Choir Parent Volunteer Crew this month! Thank you to all parents who joined us for our first meeting.
The PVC will meet once a month to support a variety of choir needs throughout the year. All parents are invited to attend our meetings, and updates will be sent out after each meeting so families can stay informed.
Future Meetings: The Parent Volunteer Crew meets on the first Monday of every month at 6:00pm in the choir room. January is an exception—since school is not in session, the PVC will meet on Monday, January 12th instead.
If you would like to know more about PVC, we will have an information table right after our Winter Concert.
