**Mandatory Wildcat Choir Camp July 31-August 2**
Please make sure that you have Wildcat Choir Camp on your calendar for the Summer! This is our own summer camp for all Choir students that is required and expected. The schedule and dates for this camp are below. Wildcat Choir Camp will be held at TMHS and lunch will be provided each day.
Following Wildcat Choir Camp, we will host our own District Choir Camp for all students wishing to participate in the Texas All-State Choir Process. Chorale is required to participate in this audition process, but we encourage any student to audition. Music for the All-State Auditions can be purchased at https://amcmusic.net/ or by calling (713) 802-2900
Fine Arts Signing Day is this week on Monday, May 22nd right after school. If you are able to attend please do so! We would love to see a big crowd of choir students to support our fine arts students going into music in college. The event should only last around 30 minutes and will be in the TMHS Auditorium, with a reception to follow in the lobby.
If you are currently enrolled in voice lessons or are interested in beginning voice lessons over the summer, please fill out this interest form. Voice lessons are a great way to develop as an individual singer and fine tune technique with a professional instructor. It is a great way to build confidence and stage presence, and even work on music literacy skills!

This is an exciting opportunity for both of our programs! Approximate dates are Wednesday, March 13th - Monday, March 18th, 2024. This will be the only trip offered for the Spring of 2024.
Please note that if we do not reach the required number of performers to combine with the TMHS Orchestra, the TMHS Choir will still be going to New York for the Spring 2023 trip and performing at Carnegie Hall.
