ARLINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS DEPARTMENT OF PERFORMING ARTS 2017-2018 All Town Elementary Treble Chorus Choral Music Opportunity for Students in Grades 4 and 5 The All Town Elementary Treble Chorus is a choral ensemble open to all fourth and fifth graders from each of the Arlington elementary schools. This chorus provides an opportunity for the

young singer to develop his or her own voice, explore a wide variety of music styles, develop self-confidence and self-esteem, while having fun with new friends in a caring and supportive environment. Music helps develop our response to the world in a positive way, develops an appreciation of beauty and gives each of us a voice! What better way to spend the afternoon!

The All Town Treble Chorus is open only to students who attend the Arlington Public Schools. Participation in the program is free of charge. Although no audition is required, students should exhibit an interest in singing. The chorus performs at various annual school concerts throughout Arlington, including special events and community venues. Special plans for this year include a performance at the Massachusetts State House, traditionally a highlight of the year for our singers and their families.
