Swanton Local Choirs

🎶 DID YOU KNOW…? 🎶

Our High School choirs are made up of students who do SO much more than sing!

Our choir family includes students involved in football, soccer, golf, basketball, track, volleyball, baseball, softball, wrestling, band, Student Council, National Honor Society, Quiz Bowl, 4-H and so much more!

At Swanton, we believe our students can—and should—succeed in all areas of their lives. Music gives them another place to grow, build confidence, learn teamwork, develop discipline, and create lasting friendships.

Being involved in music doesn’t mean choosing between the things you love. It means bringing all of your talents, interests, and experiences together to become the best version of yourself. 🎵

We are proud of our well-rounded students and all the ways they shine! 💜🎶

As Always, Go Bulldogs! 🐶

As Always, Go Bulldogs!

🇦🇹🎶 Yesterday and today, we braved the HOT weather to explore the incredible city of Vienna.

We visited the resting places of some of history's greatest composers, wandered through the cultural heart of the city, enjoyed an amazing lunch, did a little shopping, and simply soaked in the beauty and history that surrounds every street.

As our two-week journey through Europe begins to wind down, it's hard to put into words just how unforgettable this experience has been. We've had the privilege of performing incredible concerts, sharing music with audiences across the continent, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Along the way, we've met so many wonderful people who have become friends, experienced cultures and traditions different from our own, and seen places we've only dreamed about visiting.

This trip has been so much more than a tour—it's been an adventure filled with music, friendship, laughter, and experiences that we'll carry with us forever. Feeling incredibly grateful for every moment and looking forward to making the most of the time we have left.

We return home tomorrow!

As Always, Go Bulldogs!

🇩🇪🎶 Over the past two days, we’ve had the opportunity to explore Neuschwanstein Castle, and Oberammergau, Germany - we’ve been having a blast!

We are currently in Salzburg for lunch, and will soon be on the way to Vienna!

So far, our highlights of Salzburg included some of the filming locations of The Sound of Music, as well as the home of W. A. Mozart!
