Cassell ChoirsCassell has two choirs that perform, multiple times, both in and out of the school each year. In school they perform for assemblies, after school concerts and for school events. Outside of the schools they perform for Choral Festivals and Community Events.
In these choirs, students learn to perform a variety of music that challenges them and helps them to grow both as individual singers and as an ensemble. As the new school year progresses, future performances and important dates for the Cassell Choirs will be announced on this page. |
Concert Choir |
The Cassell Concert Choir is an open choir for all students in 3rd through 5th grade who would like to join. Students learn to read and interpret traditional music notation. They focus on singing as an ensemble and vocal independence when singing in parts.

Symphonic Choir |
The Symphonic choir is open to all Cassell Students in grades 6 through 8. In the symphonic choir, students will focus on singing with a blended and balanced tone in multiple parts.
