about our program
The Baton Rouge Magnet High School Choral Department touts a legacy of choral excellence that has spanned generations. Our program focuses not only on vocal technique and varying, unique performance experiences; but also on musicianship, music theory, and sight-reading, as well as giving students opportunities to excel as soloists. Many of our students become lifelong musicians, whether in professional performance, education, or as a leader in their community, and continue to set the bar high for their peers.
Beginning Choir
This is a choir for those students who have done some singing, but are not fluent in music theory or sightreading skills.
Intermediate Treble Choir
This choir is for treble voices (female students) who have some vocal technique skills, as well as some basic skills in music theory and sightreading.
Gleecians
This choir is made up of Tenor/Bass voices (male students) who have intermediate-to-advanced level skills in vocal technique, music theory, and sight-reading.
Choralaires
This choir is made up of Treble voices (female students) who have intermediate-to-advanced level skills in vocal technique, music theory, and sight-reading.
Festival Singers
This is our most advanced choir, made up of students who are at the mastery level of vocal technique, music theory, and sightreading. Students in this choir must also be enrolled in Choralaires or Gleecians. Additionally, students in this choir form a handbell choir (Festival Ringers), who play occasionally throughout the school year. Students in this choir will have the opportunity for performance travel and other community performances.
