ABOUT US
The Thomas Dale Choral Department has a legacy of high musicianship that spans all of its ensembles. All of our choirs perform a variety of styles and genres while learning the foundations of choral singing and receiving an enriching and dynamic music education.
Ensembles perform multiple times a year in concerts at Thomas Dale High School, as well as select performances at school events and throughout the community. Select groups travel to State Assessment each year, where they have consistently received Superior ratings. Select groups have also traveled to local and national competitions, where they've received Superior vocal ratings and other awards, such as: Best Vocal Quality, Best Choreography, Best Show Design, and Best Show Band.
