One Willard, One Voice - District Combined Elementary Choral Experience

In an effort to promote One Team, One Willard, the elementary music teachers had an idea to combine 3rd and 4th grade students from all 5 elementary buildings for a district-wide vocal music opportunity. A couple of the buildings have had choirs all year while others started theirs with this idea in mind. Now, our combined choir would like to invite you to our first ever Willard One Elementary Choir performance on Tuesday, May 16, 2023 at 6:30 p.m. at the Willard High School Theater.

Our repertoire will consist of songs from a couple of the smaller groups and songs from the whole choir. This is an amazing opportunity for our students to experience singing with other kids their age and other Willard students who they will go to school with in a year or two. We hope to see you there!
