Our philosophy is, if a student<br \/>\nwants to sing, then there&#8217;s a choir for them; we place our<br \/>\nstudents in a choir that best suits their abilities. We&#8217;ll<br \/>\nlisten to anyone at any time, but now is a great time with<br \/>\nspring registration right around the corner.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span>For more information or assistance related to a disability,<br \/>\ncall 662-915-5115.
