HIGH SCHOOL Choir

The Argyle High School Choir program is off to an amazing start this year. Even though COVID-19 has presented us with unprecedented challenges, our students have stepped up and embraced the changes we have made so that Choir can continue to happen in the safest way possible. By wearing masks, social distancing in class, and singing with hospital-grade air filters, we are able to sing inside of our classroom. We are truly thankful to the Argyle ISD administration for helping us make the necessary financial purchases to accommodate these changes to our classroom routines.

Argyle High School Choir enrolls 90 students this year who are participating in six different performing ensembles, our largest enrollment since the beginning of our program in 2016. This year, we have added three new ensembles, including Men’s Chorale, Women’s Chorale, and our newest A Cappella group, Flight. All of our students have worked incredibly hard, and that work paid off at our first concert of the year in October. Our Fall Concert was a huge success, and we are grateful for the Harvest Community and Page Austin, who made it possible for us to put on our first outdoor Fall Concert in history! It was a memorable night, and all of our students performed with such passion and excellence. We are looking forward to our upcoming Winter Concert currently scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 10. You can find out more details online at our website www. argylechoir.com. We are also very excited to announce that 20 students from our program were selected for the first round of the TMEA Small School All-State process! These students have prepared audition music since July, and for the third year in a row, our program has set a school record for the most number of students advancing to the 2nd Round of the All-State process. Not only were we fortunate enough to have students in every single graduating class selected, we also had the most students of any school in our Region. This is something we have achieved for the second year in a row. This is truly an amazing accomplishment for our Choir program, and these students deserve all of the credit.

Thank you to all of the Argyle Choir parents and the Argyle Choir Booster Club who selflessly devote so much time to helping our program be successful. We also want to thank our 2020-2021 corporate sponsors, 407 BBQ, Giovanni’s Pizza, and Northlake Dental.

We hope to see you at our upcoming Winter Choir Concert, where all of our performing ensembles will share some of your holiday favorites, including Bruce Springsteen’s “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” Kelly Clarkson’s “Underneath the Tree,” “Carol of the Bells,” and the timeless anthem, “Let There Be Peace on Earth.”
