New Arts Offering: Festival Chorus
Students might want to add a bit of singing to their weekly routine by enrolling in a new class: Festival Chorus. This course will meet twice weekly on Monday (8:50-10:00 a.m.) and Wednesday (11:15-11:55 a.m.). The class is a non-audition, vocal ensemble designed to introduce singers to ensemble singing at the high school level. Students learn basic vocal technique as it pertains to choral and solo singing; practice fundamental musicianship skills, including music reading; and perform music in multiple languages from various genres and musical eras. Each semester’s culminating performances are a meaningful and compulsory component of this class.

Coming Soon . . .
Feb. 2 marks the first day of our six-week, parent giving drive Brooks Together, and on Feb. 9, Brooks will celebrate our seventh-annual Giving Day! Our hope is that every family will be inspired to make a contribution to Brooks Together this year, and Giving Day might be the perfect day to make that gift.
On this day, every member of the Brooks community, alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty and friends, is encouraged to support our school with a gift to the Brooks Fund. Our Giving Day goal this year is to top 750 gifts. Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, please contact Director of the Brooks Fund and Family Engagement Mary Merrill.
