Registration for 2025-2026
It’s almost time to register for the 2025-2026 school year!  Current 9th-11th grade students will register for classes at the end of this month/beginning of February.  I look forward to seeing our chorus students return next year as we build upon the music and skills we are working on during our current school year!  

Treble voices (Soprano/Alto) who are interested in auditioning for our advanced class (Cantabile) should sign up for an audition.  Audition sign up is posted in the chorus room.  Auditions start Monday, January 27.  In the meantime, make sure to register for chorus so that you’re eligible to audition.  Treble Chorus students who are currently in 4th period/Cantabile remain.  Treble Chorus students who do not audition will be placed into 3rd period/Rhapsody chorus.  Tenors & Basses remain in 5th period chorus.

Do you know someone who loves to sing, but isn’t in chorus?  Please make sure to send them to me!  Do you know an 8th grade student from Five Forks or Crews Middle who likes to sing?  Make sure they register for Brookwood Chorus as well! 

Chorus Dues
If your student paid their chorus dues, they will receive the spring show chorus shirt later this semester. If they still need to pay, please click here for instructions.

Universal Trip Update
We're getting closer to our Universal Trip this March!  Students will get to submit their roommate preferences (in groups of four) next week.  Stay tuned for more details!

Spring Show

Braves Performance:  August 2025
Mark your calendars!  Our next performance at the Atlanta Braves will be on Saturday, August 23, 2025.  Ticket details coming soon - you'll find the information on how to order here.  Tickets can be purchased now; parking & shirts coming soon.  Remember, students must be enrolled in chorus for the 2025-2026 school year in order to participate.
