About our Program
The Chorus Program at Riverwood International Charter High School is comprised of diverse and dedicated students from all backgrounds and interests. We pride ourselves on our musicality on and off the stage, as well as our community-focused classes that create a "family feel" in rehearsals.
Intermediate Women's Chorus is comprised of non-auditioned freshman treble voices. The class meets 2nd block on B days.
Advanced Women’s Chorus is comprised of non-auditioned treble voices, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The class meets 4th block on B days.
Mastery Mixed Chorus is an auditioned group of mixed voices including soprano, alto, tenor and bass. This group meets 3rd period on B days.
Rhapsody Acapella is our main performance group and only choir outside of classes. Chosen through auditions, these students are very committed to our chorus program even though they do not have the space on their schedule for a class.
Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Ms. Lopez, our new choral director.
