If you are someone who wants an opportunity to make great friends, have fun, experience new activities, and sing some really fantastic music – this group is for you! We accept any member who would like to join as long as you are ready to make a commitment to a year of excitement!

The dress/tuxedo fitting date will take place September 21st from 6-8, first come first serve. More information will be available at our first rehearsal.
Please add the dates below to your calendar now. We set our dates as far in advance as possible so that you are able to plan accordingly for other activities. The concerts and contests are mandatory. If you miss more than 2 unexcused rehearsals prior to a concert or contest you may not be permitted to participate in the performance. The spring events, especially IGSMA contests, are very important and we typically see conflicts with communions, science fair, and other various commitments. Please try to coordinate your schedule to allow for your students to be a part of all of our performances throughout the year and let me know as soon as possible if you see a conflict on your end. Thank you!
