HHS offers two types of choral

experiences.

Show Choir is for those singers

who want to sing, dance, act,

compete and be a part of a very

active group. HHS has two show

choirs: Music Makers is our varsity

group, open only to 10-12 graders,

and Forefront is our junior varsity

(or prep) group, open to grades

9-11.

Concert Choirs are offered for

those singers who want to sing and

perform without all the other

elements required for show choir.

The concert choirs also have a

somewhat less rigorous schedule.

Royal Accord is our all-men

concert choir and Serenata is our

all-women group.
