CHOIR AHS
The Argyle High School Choir program is off to an amazing start in the 2021 calendar year.
COVID-19 continues to make learning challenging, but our students have stepped up and embraced the changes we have made so that AHS Choir can continue to happen in the safest way possible. By wearing masks, social distancing in class, and singing with hospital-grade air filters, we are able to sing inside of our classroom. We are truly thankful to the Argyle ISD administration for helping us with these changes to our classroom routines.
Argyle High School Choir is in the middle of our UIL Concert & SightReading season! That means we are learning our most difficult music of the year as we prepare for a performance evaluation in the month of March. This year’s evaluation will take place virtually, but we are still striving for the highest rating on our UIL performance – despite all of the challenges that are before us.
We are also very excited to announce that during January, five students from our program were selected for the TMEA Small School All-State Choir! These students have prepared audition music since July, and for the second year in a row, our program has had the most students selected for the All-State
Choir of any school in our area. This is truly an amazing accomplishment for our Choir program, and these students deserve all of the credit. Less than 5% of students who audition for this ensemble are selected each year, and even though we are working through the pandemic, our students have continued to persevere! We are so incredibly proud of their accomplishments and cannot wait to see our students begin this process again next year.
Thank you to all of the Argyle Choir parents and the Argyle Choir Booster Club for selflessly devoting so much time to helping our program be successful. We also want to thank our 2020-2021 corporate sponsors, 407 BBQ, Giovanni’s Pizza, and Northlake Dental. We hope to be performing for live audiences again soon. Until then, stay safe, stay healthy, and love your neighbor!
