Choral Council

Student leaders are essential to a thriving choir program. Serving in a leadership role is your opportunity to help shape the choirs of Cherokee Bluff High School. Leaders will be able to build a positive and supportive student culture within and between our choirs.

To be in any leadership role, it is important to remember that you are in the role for the good of the entire group, and not just for yourself. You are expected to work for and with the choir, not above the choir.
