The PAHS Choral Department is comprised of approximately 130 students in four main ensembles: Mixed Chorus, Concert Choir, PAJAZZ and Madrigals.  The focus of these ensembles is music literacy and performance.  The Department’s concerts feature a wide variety of musical styles that are often costumed and choreographed to fit the overall concert’s theme.  From the auditioned ensembles, students may be selected to perform with various smaller ensembles including:  Show Choir, Jazz Choir, Swing Choir, and Renaissance Choir. Auditions for 2013-2014  are May 22.
