See what chorus has to offer outside of the classroom!

The VCMS Chamber Choir
The VCMS Chamber Choir was chartered in 2000 to challenge the more talented singers on higher level music than they are able to work on in class.  In 2003 & 2009, the VCMS Chamber Choir received the coveted honor of being asked to perform at the Georgia Music Educator’s Association In-Service Conference.  For the past ten years, they performed Class C (3rd most difficult high school level) at Large Group Performance Evaluation and received Superior Ratings.  They have won numerous competitions throughout Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina.  They have also received invitations to perform at local schools and colleges.

Invitation to this group is an honor only extended to the best, most dedicated, and hardest working singers in the school.  Chamber Choir rehearsals are every Monday until 5:30.  All members are expected to attend all rehearsals unless they are not at school on the day of a rehearsal.

Since the Chamber Choir is not sponsored by the state or by the public school system, they are not awarded a budget from the school.  For that reason, there is a $40 membership fee to cover music and other supplies. 

Because of the extremely high standards that this elite group strives to maintain, a demerit system is in place that helps ensure rehearsals are productive and efficient.  Receiving 6 demerits will end membership in the Chamber Choir.  Being a member of the VCMS Chamber Choir is an honor and students are expected to act accordingly.
