Choirs at Ridge PointThe Ridge Point High School choral program is comprised of approximately 240 students, each of whom is enrolled in one or two of six choirs that meet daily.
Our students are involved in many musical pursuits including the TMEA All-State process, Solo & Ensemble competition, private voice lessons, and the school musical held each spring in January. Our choirs generally give five performances at Ridge Point throughout the year along with many appearances throughout 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, STUCO, and many other organizations. This would not be possible without the amazing support and cooperation of the panther faculty on campus! |
