what is the weekly COMMITMENT?
We hope that our choristers are involved in many exciting extracurricular activities. We do ask that you prioritize SDCC's weekly rehearsals. We send home practice information and ask students to practice their songs at home.

All singers perform in two large concerts: SDCC's Winter and Spring Concerts. Each ensemble performs throughout the year with performances ranging from 2 to 12 opportunities that progressively grow in frequency in the upper level choirs (Concert and Chamber).
