All staff & students are welcome to come along to Knox Choir rehearsals - Wednesdays 3:30 - 4:15pm in my room in the Music Department.

We sing fun warm-ups to relax and energise and then spend some time learning harmony for songs we're working on. At the moment it's Don't Worry Baby by The Beach Boys.

I will be auditioning for the male solo at the start of choir (practice room) so will task a couple of students to lead the warm-ups in my room.

S1s - we would love you to join. If you perform 3 times with Knox Choir at concerts then you will be eligible to order your pink hoodie :-)

Thank you!
