About Lassiter Chorus
A Tradition of Excellence
The Lassiter Chorus Program has long been recognized as one of Georgia's outstanding high school choral programs. Built upon a tradition of musical excellence, the program provides students with meaningful performance opportunities, exceptional music education, and a supportive community where every singer can thrive.
Each year, Lassiter Chorus students perform throughout the community, participate in statewide festivals and evaluations, audition for honor choirs, and represent Lassiter High School with professionalism and pride. While we celebrate awards and accomplishments, our greatest source of pride is the culture we have created—a culture where students encourage one another, work toward common goals, and discover the joy of making music together.
Regardless of previous experience, every student who enters the rehearsal room has the opportunity to grow as a musician, leader, and person. The chorus room is a place where students are challenged to think critically, perform confidently, and strive for excellence every day.
Philosophy
Performing Arts Education combines creativity, collaboration, discipline, communication, and problem-solving every single day. Students learn to listen, adapt, lead, follow, and work toward a common goal while developing skills that extend far beyond the classroom. In chorus, every voice matters. Each singer has a responsibility to prepare individually while supporting the success of the entire ensemble.
When every student contributes their very best, remarkable things happen.
Rehearsals are built around three expectations:
Work Hard.
Support Others.
Be Consistent.
