CHORALIERS
This is a group selected through a vocal audition and open to
Concert Choir members in grades 10-12. A student must be enrolled
in Concert Choir for one year prior to auditioning. Once selected
for Choraliers, students must be enrolled in Concert Choir in the current school year. These students are ambassadors of L.A.H.S. and
rehearsal is determined upon the schedule of each student. This
group sings throughout the community and is very busy in December
