All members learn to sight read and are exposed to a variety of vocal styles, from Renaissance to Broadway. Every student is evaluated twice a year by a required individual jury, during which they perform chorus music in front of the music faculty. All students can perform at least three times a year, audition for All State chorus, and participate in the annual Chorus Tour. Uniforms are required. SAA/SJ Mixed Chorus members receive one performing arts elective credit.
