FIELD TRIPS / PERFORMANCES
The choirs will have a number of opportunities to showcase their talent and musicality this year. For many students, performing in the Chandler community is a great way to find motivation and to practice and push beyond their limits. It also increases students’ willingness to work together as a musical ensemble.
