Youth Choir

Description:

Current for 2026–27

Youth Choir provides students ages 12–18 with a comprehensive choral experience centered on the study and performance of music to grow musically and glorify God. Emphasis is placed on the development of vocal technique, ensemble musicianship, polyphonic singing, sight singing, and stylistic interpretation. Students will engage with a diverse repertoire spanning traditional hymns, classical sacred works, contemporary works, spirituals, and more. Beyond the classroom, students will be expected to practice the repertoire at home. Furthermore, the choir functions as a vocal ministry, reaching others through performances in retirement communities, at Bluebonnet’s Graduation, and in Bluebonnet’s fall and spring Fine Arts Showcase events. 

This year, there will be an advanced subgroup of the Youth Choir that students may audition to participate in with around 12 spots. This group will meet for part of a rehearsal around once per month, meanwhile other members of Youth Choir will continue learning the choral repertoire and practicing other musical techniques. Students who wish to audition for the advanced portion will learn one or two more technically challenging pieces of music in addition to the selections which all the choir will learn, and they will perform one or two songs at the showcase. This opportunity will allow some of the older and more technically trained singers to be challenged and grow in their choral abilities.

Bluebonnet Home Scholars also offers Form I Children’s Choir (ages 7-9) and Form II Children’s Choir (ages 9-12).
