Engagement Choirs

    • weekly rehearsals at their school

    • once-per-semester All-Engagement rehearsal at the TGC rehearsal hall

    • performance in the community with sister choirs from TGC's River Rd & Northwest Choirs

    • performance at the annual Sounds of Winter & Sounds of Spring concerts at Fox Tucson Theatre

​

​Current School Partners:

​

  • Midtown Choir- Amphitheater School District

    • Holaway Elementary

    • Keeling Elementary​

    • Prince Elementary

  • Southwest Choir- Tucson Unified School District​

    • Mary Belle McCorkle Academy of Excellence​

"Tucson Girls Chorus provides our girls with amazing experiences that they otherwise would never get!  They learn to work together and trust one another. Their self-esteem is strengthened every time they meet and their huge smiles tell us how much they fun they are having!  The Tucson Girls Chorus experience at Keeling is priceless!"
