NEW HERE?

Welcome to the Family!

Hello!

On behalf of Clements Choir, we would like to welcome you to the World of High School choir!

Incoming 8th Graders:

All freshmen trebles (sopranos and altos) will be in one class unless there is a scheduling conflict. This choir is named Cantiamo. Similarly, the freshmen tenors and basses will be in a class named Con Brio. The freshmen choirs are required to perform in the Fall Concert, Men’s/Women’s Fest, Winter Concert, UIL Concert & Sight Reading, and Pop Show. All freshmen are encouraged to participate in the All-State Process and Solo Contest. There is also an annual campus musical October-January that choir supports! For more about our program’s ensemble structure, please see this page.

Please fill out this Microsoft Form so we can get to know you better!

Current Clements Students joining Choir:

We’re so happy to have you! Whether you have had a little or no music experience, there is room in Clements Choir for you! Please stop by or email Mrs. Blakey or Mr. Shen so we can hear you. In general, new-to-choir 10th-12th graders are in A Cappella/Sonoro. These choirs have the same performance expectations and requirements as the freshmen choirs above.

  • An important aspect of the fall semester in high school choir is the TMEA All-State process. This process is for students who are looking to get more out of their choir experience.

    If you/your student is passionate and excited about choir, wants to improve, be a part of a tight community of supportive singers, the all-state process is a great place to start!
