The Norris Middle School 7th and 8th Grade Choirs make up approximately 140
students at Norris Middle School. The 7th Grade Choir meets on Tuesdays and
Thursdays each week. The 8th Grade Choir meets everyday. Developing students’
singing voices, aural skills, music reading skills, performance skills and an
interest in choral music are all important components of the middle school
choral program. Performances for the choirs include a fall and spring concert,
