Choir
Welcome to the BOYCP Choir!
The Choral program at BOYCP began in 2015 under the direction of Mr. Terry Morrow.The Choirs engage in 2 yearly concerts, in addition to numerous performing events within the building and out in the Back of the Yards community. Each December, a Winter Concert takes place, and each Spring, the annual "Taste of Broadway," which is comprised of Choir students and non-choir members of the student body who audition for roles.
Choir members have participated in workshops, performances, and master classes with the legendary Lyric Opera, Broadway in Chicago, and After School Matters.
Community events include the Back of the Yards Tree Lighting, Open Mic Coffee House Performances, Caroling, singing for the sick and elderly, Chicago's Pride parade, the South Side Irish Parade, and many more.
Choir is work.
Choir is love.
Choir is life.
TASTE OF BROADWAY
The Taste of Broadway gives students a platform to share their talents in everything from vocal, acting, dance, set design, stage management, lighting, and sound engineering, and has been a much anticipated event each Spring.
CHOIR IS FAMILY
Every year the CP Digital Media students photograph headshots of our Taste of Broadway cast. This year's cast was bummed not to get to perform live, but we still bonded as a family!
