These grades experience music and art while showcasing their skills in after-school plays throughout the year.

Fourth through fifth grade is designed to encourage excellency in vocal music through choral singing and introductions to music theory. This is an auditioned class that can be chosen as an elective course. This class will take the place of “Vista’s Vocal Xpressions” for the 4th and 5th grades, but it will be within the normal school day schedule. Throughout the year, students will explore performance etiquette, choral vocal technique, solo opportunities, music theory, movement in music, and many other related musical ideas. There will be performances and dress rehearsals that the students will be expected to attend. The performances will be joint with the 5th grade choir class.

Concert choir is a non-auditioned group that requires students to have at least one full year of experience in another choir and selection from the director to participate in.

Advanced choir is an auditioned only group that will be performing in the community and representing Vista at festivals. It is our top traditional choir and students will be expected to put in after school hours for practice and performance preparation. Auditions will be held for current students in the spring of the previous year, and at the beginning of the new school year for students new to Vista. Students will learn sight singing, part singing, A Capella and accompanied music, and a large variety of music genres.
