A note from Mr. Anderson
This year is PACKED with fun trips, festivals, competitions, concerts and Broadway shows. Regardless of your prior experience in choir, this year is going to be very different. Students will be challenged to create an audience experience like no other. In order to stay up to date with all of our events, you need to know what groups your child belongs to and follow the BAND APP and Calendar. Both links are on this page and throughout the website.
This website is designed to have all information for events, including dates, times, and who needs to be there. The BAND APP is needed to maintain contact throughout the year. Each page will have different aspects of choir information. Feel free to browse the site and send me an email with any questions.
Choir Core Values
Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome in choir, no matter what your background, we accept all students. You don't have to be a great singer to be in choir. Join and we will get you there.
Musical Diversity
In the UHS Titan Chorus, we will be singing a wide variety of music from Pop, to a cappella (like Pentatonix), Musical theater, Rock, Classical, and New music. Our goal is to include music from composers with diverse backgrounds and cultures. We will sing in several different languages as well (Hebrew, Latin, Spanish, German, etc.)
No Judgement
In the Titan Chorus, we understand that singing is the most vulnerable thing a human can do. There is no instrument to hide behind. So I encourage students to not judge other students (or themselves) when mistakes happen. Mistakes can be fixed, only if we work together.
Final Concert Rehearsal for Fall Concert 9/21/22
