At Carthage High School, the standards are high: academics, sports, and in our fine arts programs. The standards are incredibly high in our vocal music department. 

If you are dedicated to hard work and excellence, have a passion for people, and choral music, I would like to encourage you to audition to become a member of one of our 3 audition only ensembles, our Concert Choir, and our 2 show choirs, Suite Sounds and Soundwave. All three of our audition classes are proficient in sight reading, vocal technique, and choral ensemble work. 

If you enjoy singing, but need some work on your technique and have a desire to understand music on the most basic level, our non-audition Introduction to Choir class is the place for you! Emphasis is placed on correct singing technique, basic sight reading, and solid sound production. 

Not a performer, but love music? Then Music Appreciation is the class for you! Both regular and Dual Credit courses are offered. The dual credit class will earn you 3 hours of college credit provided though Crowder College. Both courses will take you on a short jaunt through music history, composers, and compositions. 


There is a place for everyone in the CHS vocal music department. Stop by room A110 and see what you've been missing out on!! Please feel free to browse our website, check out the videos, and check out the schedule to catch a performance as well!
