Did you miss the deadline? You’re in luck! Registration has been extended through tomorrow! 🎤✨
Don’t miss your chance to join the fun! ❤️

🎶CHORUS REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!🎶

Do you have a 4th or 5th grader that loves to be challenged, loves to sing, and exhibits exemplary behavior? If you answered "yes", then Southwest Singers might be a great fit for them!

Southwest Singers is an after-school, extra-curricular singing club. We participate in a few small performances throughout the school year, including the Lakeland Christmas Parade and a SWE Winter Concert. We meet every Wednesday in the music room until 4:15PM.

Please note that there are no busses or vans at that time, so all students participating must have someone to pick them up via car at 4:15PM on Wednesdays.

Registration closes on 8/31 at 7PM. Our first rehearsal is on Wednesday, 9/2.
