• Live More Musically…. 

    All students are welcome to join the choirs at West Sylvan Middle School!
     
     
    Are you looking for a new group of people or to spend more time with friends who like to sing? Do you like singing but think your voice sounds terrible? Join a choir! Anyone can sing. Everyone has a voice. In the West Sylvan Choir Program we believe in 3 things: Showing kindness, treating each other with respect, and striving for musical excellence.

    Choir is a year-long elective with pathways for all grades! We perform a full concert once a quarter. We perform musical styles from around the world and through multiple historical periods.This year we have 3 different ensembles at West Sylvan.
