Why take chorus?

THE PEOPLE ARE THE BEST. Lightridge Chorus has a diverse group of students with different interests who come together because of their shared passion for music. There is no one type of student in chorus. Meaningful friendships are created through engaging rehearsals, trips for performances, and leadership opportunities. Lightridge Chorus is known for its strong community and supportive culture - as well as its musical excellence! Lightridge Chorus has one of the biggest choral programs in VA with 225 students.

Honors Music becomes an option for students in high school chorus starting their freshman year. Successful completion of these requirements will result in an additional 0.5 boost for the chorus class you are already signed up for. This is only offered in music electives at the beginning of high school.

Music courses help students create diversity for their college applications. Creativity is valued in the college acceptance process. A sequential music elective also showcases long-term commitment, diligence, and creativity. Sequential electives are a requirement for graduation. Students utilize the skills learned in chorus in all aspects of their lives.
