Morris Hills
High School
Chorus
Overview
The Choral Department at Morris Hills High School offers all students a variety of opportunities to participate in vocal music. Choir can be taken as a full year 5-credit course. Knightingales (treble choir), Knights Templar, Scarlet Singers, and Knight Fever (tenor/bass choir) are auditioned co-curricular choirs that also provide students with differing avenues of musical expression and performance.
The co-curricular choirs frequently represent Morris Hills High School at public events and concerts and are our most select choirs. Auditions occur during the first month of school and a student must be enrolled in a curricular choir in order to audition. Rehearsals for these auditioned groups typically occur on Monday nights.
In all vocal groups, emphasis is placed on learning and using healthy vocal techniques, reading music notation and understanding different types of choral literature through the study of music history and world music cultures.
All students are first encouraged to join Concert Choir as a 5-credit course. A weekly lunch lesson is required of all Choir students. If their schedule does not allow them to take a choir class, other options may be available depending on the students' situation (please contact teacher for details). Once a student has completed a year of Concert Choir, with teacher recommendation, they are eligible to take Advanced Concert Choir.
