High Five Junior Choir Club
The Wilmette High Five Junior Choir provides a safe learning environment in which students of all abilities come together to create and experience music, build friendships, and raise awareness against stereotypes of individuals with physical and mental disabilities. This club is based off of the High-5 Choir that is offered at New Trier High School. The Wilmette High Five Junior Choir aims to share the love of music with peers regardless of abilities, share our voices through music, and have a lot of fun! At this time we are able to have a live concert with assigned seating for distancing. If circumstances change we will share videos of our rehearsals with families in lieu of a live performance.
