Ballard Choir Calendar
The Ballard Choir engages in a variety of activities. While not everyone is expected at all events they should all be aware of them going on. The Ballard Choir does activities from concerts for the parents to long distance trips to places such as Atlanta, Georgia or New York, New York. All activities are designed to bring the students in the program together as a community and to a higher understanding of music and musicianship.
