Choir Fest is a special opportunity for selected 8th grader students in District 196. Selected by their middle school choir teachers, students take part in a choir learning experience culminating with a public concert. Approximately 35 select choir students from each of the six middle schools in District 196 will be participating in the event this year. The Choir Fest will take place on Friday, February 2 at Eastview High School. Lunch and morning snacks will be provided, but please make sure you eat a proper breakfast. Rehearsals will continue until 3pm. A free public concert will begin at 3:30pm.
