Choirs at Ridge PointThe Ridge Point High School choral program is comprised of approximately 200 students, each of whom is enrolled in one of five choirs that meet daily at Ridge Point High School and several other ensembles that combine for special performances.
Our students are involved in many musical pursuits including the TMEA All-State process, Solo & Ensemble competition, private voice lessons, and the school musical. The choirs generally give five performances at Ridge Point High School throughout the year - these are the Short & Sweet, Sounds of the Season, Pop Show, UIL Send-off, and Masterworks concerts. Additionally, they make many appearances in the greater Houston area. Many Ridge Point High School choir members are also involved in other programs including athletics, theater, band, orchestra, academic decathlon, drill team, and many other organizations. This would not be possible without the amazing support and cooperation of the other faculty on campus! |
