 National Show Choir Championship
​
The Pointe Singers of 2018-2019

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.

A national award-winning program does not occur overnight.  It is only possible because of years and decades of dedicated directors, choreographers, musicians, booster members, community partners and most importantly our talented students.
