Summer Chorus

Dear Gregory Chorus Students and Families,

The District 204 Music Program offers wonderfully engaging and comprehensive Summer Music opportunities. In particular, we highly encourage Gregory Chorus Students to consider enrolling in the Dist. #204 Summer Chorus. This year's Summer Chorus program is conveniently hosted by Neuqua Valley, although it is open to students from throughout the District.

Summer Chorus, available for students entering grades 6-12, is a large vocal ensemble dedicated to discovering and experiencing the musical traditions and styles of all choral music! Performing music from all styles and historical periods, including classical choral pieces as well as vocal jazz, Broadway, and world music, Summer Chorus is a fun way to continue singing while meeting new friends from throughout District 204.

In Summer Chorus, students will:
  • Develop musicianship through performing music from all around the world  
  • Develop vocal skills and habits necessary for musical growth and performance 
  • Develop music literacy skills - music reading skills and Music Theory  
  • Develop appreciation for music from all styles through performing and listening activities 
  • Develop empathy and appropriate respect for society's cultural blend 
  • Develop camaraderie with peers of various age and grade levels through musical experiences

To register, please visit the following website:


The "early bird" registration deadline in May 21.

Please do not hesitate to contact Ryan Rimington with any questions regarding this program.

(We also encourage current 8th grade/future 9th grade students to consider the Summer Music Technology program - also hosted by NVHS. Information about this program can also be found on the website above.)
