WCHS MUSIC DEPARTMENT
Bass Choir
Bass choir is a semester-long class that can be taken as many as 8 semesters. Each semester is focused on learning music from around the world in 2 and 3-part harmony for low voices (usually, but not always male voices). The class meets during the school day and counts for a full music credit. Multiple performances are required for this class. Because students are being informed of this date with several months’ notice, no excuses will be accepted for missing the concert. Additionally, there will performance opportunities outside of school that will require the presence of every choir member. Students will be given ample notice to clear their schedules.
