Tradition. Talent. Excellence.The Grosse Pointe South Choir Department is built of three important pillars: tradition, talent and excellence. The South Choral Department has a tradition of excellence and is comprised of four choral ensembles incorporating students from grades 9 – 12. These students feature their talent in major workshops, concerts and competitions throughout the school year and travel internationally bi-annually. Past International performances include Spain, Italy, Greece, England, France, Ireland, Spain and the French Riviera, Poland and Austria!
Grosse Pointe South Choir has a reputation of excellence and is one of the most successful choral programs in Michigan. The program has consistently received top accolades from various state and national organizations including the highest ratings at MSVMA, a featured choir at the Michigan Youth Arts Festival and four-time national show choir champions, most recently in 2019 and has received numerous awards for choral sound, choreography, technical assistance, costuming and show.

The Grosse Pointe South Difference
Why it matters.
Our National Award-winning choir program offers our students an opportunity to participate in a performing arts program that teaches so much more than singing and dancing. GP South Choir participants have become part of a legacy of excellence that is the pride of our school and our community.
The arts are a vital part of a well-rounded education and a program of a national award-winning calibre is a direct result of decades of dedication and the generous support of our dedicated directors, choreographers, musicians, booster members, community partners and most importantly our talented students.

What Our Alumni Say About GP South Choir
"I’m working towards one day becoming a television comedy writer and producer, and have the choir program to thank for giving me the blind confidence to chase after this dream. Choir created a space for me to be loud and outgoing and make jokes (which I sometimes did in the middle of rehearsal, sorry @MrPratt & @Andy), and allow me to really come into myself during a time in life that is normally riddled with insecurity and self doubt. I fell in love with entertainment and the work that goes into building a production, which led to where I am now."
