All-Region Choir

The Carroll Choir department participated in the All-Region Choir auditions. Six Carroll students competed against over 300 7th and 8th graders all across the region. Each student had to sing a cut from two different songs for judges that they prepared on their own. 


Four students made one of the Region Choirs. They will be attending a clinic, and they will perform with the other top singers at the CSHS Concert Hall on Jan. 18. We will give a specific time for the concert closer to the performance date.


Concert Treble Choir:

Sarina Rao - Soprano 1 - Chair 1

Sophie Lund - Alto 1 - Chair 2

Tessa Jose - Soprano 2 - Chair 5


Honor Treble Choir:
