The Honor Choir “Remembrance” is a select group of singers from the H.S. Choral that display leadership, good vocal production, and advanced music theory. They have the same amount of performances as the regular H.S. Choir plus a few extra performances in smaller venues. The goal of Honor Choir is to place advanced students into a setting where they can hone their musical skills and cover advanced material. Students involved in Remembrance usually are seeking to study music in college or be involved with music throughout their life.
