APPLAUSE! helps students sing their way through a variety of musical genres at OPRFHS.  We've provided coordination support for the Show Choir trip to Branson, the Gospel Choir Great America trip and were pleased to be able to purchase a keyboard for Ms. McGuire and new tuxedos for choir members.

Curricular Ensembles

For beginning and intermediate singers, Chorale and Treble Choir are curricular ensembles offering the study of vocal technique, musical terminology, and a diverse repertoire with four evening performances throughout the year.

 

Advanced singers can participate, by audition, in either A Cappella Choir or Chamber Singers. Both choirs perform at 4-6 public concerts each year, periodically accept performance invitations in the community and attend an IHSA State Organizational Contest.​
