Honor Chorus 2022
Honor Chorus is a gathering of some of the best 5th grade singers in Cobb County. Each elementary music teacher has the option to participate and to bring up to 4 students. The students will spend the day working on vocal techniques and musicality as they prepare to perform. In the evening, the parents, friends and family members fill the auditorium and are treated to a remarkable choral concert performed by 5th grade Honor Chorus.
Students who are chosen to be in the Honor Chorus will rehears on Mondays in October and November. The full schedule is available at the bottom of this page. The performance will take place in the Fall, probably in mid November.

Apply For Honor Chorus
Due: Sunday, September 18 by 8 PM
We have so many 5th grade students who would make great candidates for Honor Chorus. However, only 4can be chosen. I make an effort to choose students who have the necessary skills, without choosing 4 very similar students.
I use an audition process because I know there are students at our school who would love to be in Honor Chorus that I would not have expected to be interested. The audition will help me to see who is interested, and who has the necessary skills to represent our school.
