About Us
Founded in 2010, the CHS Choral Department is a growing and vibrant part of the Centennial High School community. With over 100 students enrolled in 6 performance ensembles, members of the Centennial HS Choral Department maintain an active performance & competition schedule. Choirs in this organization perform throughout the year for school and community events and are consistent "Sweepstakes" recipients at UIL Concert & Sight-Reading Contest. Individually, students of the Centennial HS Choral Department consistently place in the TMEA Region 30 All-Region, District, and 9/10 Honor Choirs. Additionally, students in this organization have been named to the Texas All-State Choir and consistent recipients of "Superior" performance ratings and "Performance of Distinction" honors at esteemed competitions such as Madrigal Festival. Shades of Blue, our nationally competitive show choir, has been growing each year, placing in finals at multiple competitions, and even placing 3rd at their first out-of-state competition!
