Engagement Choirs

Engagement Choirs are partnerships with schools throughout Tucson that do not already have a choir program.
Current choirs function as after-school programs at partner schools.
Engagement choir singers participate in:
- 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!"

-Annette Orelup

Principal at Helen Keeling Elementary
