Every year, we hold a free region choir camp for all of our Pirate Choir singers. The dates and times are on the graphic. There is no cost to attend this camp, but participants must register by clicking the purple button below.

Please add these dates to your family/work calendar, as we work very hard to give the dates to you as soon as possible. Major grade events are highlighted in green. Please do not schedule conflicts on major grade event days.

If you'd like your singer to have a sample of a college experience while learning the All State music, consider sending them to a multi-day university camp. The cost varies based on duration and school. Click below to see a comprehensive list of university camps in the area.

We have had some questions about uniform return for choir this year. Here are the instructions.

Students staying in choir will KEEP their uniforms. Please do not bring it back unless it does not fit anymore. Follow the guidelines below to keep your uniform in good condition.

1. The new uniforms are able to be washed in your washing machine at home with cool water, mild detergent, and no fabric softener.

2. We would suggest spraying the armpit area with shout or similar stain/odor remover, and placing the items in a delicates washing bag.

3. The items can be partially dried on low heat, and then laid flat in an open area to finish drying.

You do not need to wash ties and cummerbunds.

4. Keep your uniform and garment bag in a safe place at home.

Students that are NOT continuing in choir:

1. The new uniforms are able to be washed in your washing machine at home with cool water, mild detergent, and no fabric softener.
