HIGH FIVE CHOIR REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
The Wilmette High Five Junior Choir is for students in grades 5-8. We aim to share the love of music regardless of abilities, share our voices through music, and have a lot of fun! This club was modeled after New Trier High School’s High-5 Choir. We strive to provide a safe, affirming learning environment in which students of all abilities come together to create and experience music, build friendships, and raise awareness against stereotypes of differently-abled people. Please note that the High Five Junior Choir is different from the school’s grade level choirs.
The Wilmette High Five Junior Choir is offered Thursdays 3:45-4:45pm at Highcrest Middle School in the Music Room. 13 sessions (cost $125) begin 10/9/25 and end with a Winter Concert 1/29/26 4:15-4:45pm at the HMS Auditorium. Questions? Please email instructor Mrs. Martin, HMS Music Director, at martinj@wilmette39.org. Sign up HERE!
