OCS Eagle Choir

The OCS Eagle choir is for middle and high school students. This class involves vocal instruction and performance opportunities for students in those grade levels. Our choir is structured into different sections such as soprano, alto, and baritone, depending on the vocal range of the students. Rehearsals focus on vocal technique and learning repertoire ranging from classical to contemporary music. Participation in the choir provides students with valuable musical skills, teamwork, and opportunities for personal growth through performance. Opportunities include group ensemble work, solo auditions, performance of national anthem at home football games, field trips, and more!
 
 

Choir Student Testimonials

Choir at OCS is much more than just a class, it’s a family. When I first joined choir I had just joined to be able to have an extra class, but as the year went on Mrs. Benson and the other choir members became some of my closest friends. Mrs. Benson truly loves all of her students no matter what. Choir has taught me many things but the most important one is self control. There are truly so many good memories to be made in choir at OCS!”

OCS choir was such a great opportunity for me to express myself creatively! I found such a sweet and encouraging community and a way to further strengthen my skills and passion in music. I am so grateful for Mrs. Benson’s leadership and the music program at OCS, and it’s helped me to be able to serve on my college church and BCM’s worship teams!”

OCS choir was more than an extra curricular for me, it was a family. I made amazing friends and memories. I got to spend an hour a day doing something I loved with people I loved. Mrs. Benson poured so much love into us each and every day, and taught us to appreciate different types and genres of music. I am truly so thankful for all of the great times that I had in choir!”

 

- Abbey S. Class of 2019

Being apart of the OCS choir was a wonderful way for be me to be able to share the gift God has given me with others. Choir brought me not only vocal lessons but also friends. I was pushed towards notes that I didn’t even know I could reach and if I hadn’t joined the choir then I would have never known my real potential. The things I learned and friends I made while being apart of such a wonderful program are memories and experiences that will stay with me forever.”
