We will be hosting two sessions:

Session One: Upper Grades (4, 5, and 6)

Session Two will be for Lower Grades (1, 2, & 3) and will start February 22nd, 2019. (At this time, we are unable to offer the choir to TK and K students, due to a time conflict. We are looking at alternatives and will communicate directly with the teachers.)

Registration for Session One opens at 7am on Sunday, November 4th. Register online at Brookvale PTA Choir Fall 2018.  For any other questions, please email Choir.Brookvalepta@gmail.com.

We require one parent volunteer to help during practice, with check-in and check-out, set up chairs, hand out sheet music, etc. If you can help, please contact Karen at (510) 361-6430 for further details.
