Welcome to Mrs. Merkel's Chorus Site!

"If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing." - James M. Barrie


Here you will find important information about participation in Gates Chili High School's Advanced Choirs.  Concert Choir and Advanced Women's Choir are curricular, full-year courses for students who have already completed one year of chorus at the high school.  To find out more about  the syllabus and grading policy for the advanced choirs, click here.  To hear audio files from the choirs' performances, click on the files at the bottom of this page!

At the high school, in addition to rehearsing in chorus during the school day, there are lots of extra-curricular opportunities in vocal music.  These include solo festivals, all-county festivals, trips, volunteer activities, musical productions, and even an honor society for musicians.
