Coppell Choir Family,

Thank you so much for joining us at our Fall Concert. Thank you for helping us celebrate each and every singer. Your presence honored the work each singer put into their performance. We hope you enjoyed it! We were blown away by the level of artistry that all choirs achieved and look forward to reaching new heights as we move forward through the year.

We have even more to celebrate; help us congratulate every singer who competed at TMEA Region Auditions today, Saturday, 10/19. Coppell competed so well and had the most singers to advance to the next round of auditions, Pre-Area, in our region. Take a look at the results below.

We have already begun work on our Winter Concert music. Our singers have grown so much since the beginning of the year and we cannot wait to see where we go!

All our love,

Your Directors
