Go to bayportchoir.weebly.com and click on the Audition Resource link at the top of the page. There you will find a link to the 2013-2014 Choir Rosters. We will only post rosters for the auditioned choirs. If your name is not on the list it means you will be singing in one of the non-auditioned choirs (Cantare Women’s Choir or Cantus Men’s Choir).

Wednesday, May 22 is our final concert of the year. This is a required concert for all choir students. Please make arrangements in your schedules now.

A thank you goes out to all the families who participated in the No Hassle Fundraiser from the Bay Port Music Parent Association and from the music faculty. We thank you for your generosity! Due to the late timing of the fundraiser this year, the Music Parent Association is asking me to ‘resend’ the fundraiser information. If you have already participated in the fundraiser please disregard this message. If you have not yet participated in the fundraiser please review the information and consider participating. All proceeds go back directly to our music students.
