The Hardaway High School Choral Department consists of the:
Girls Chorus, the Madrigals and the Girls Ensemble.

Girls Chorus
This course is designed to meet the needs of the beginning and intermediate level choral students. Students get a great deal of drill in choral technique, such as breath control, diction, sight-reading skills, and performance skills. This is also a performance group and performs at school assemblies and at the music festival each winter. Attendance at after-school rehearsal and concerts/performances is mandatory. Prerequisite is an audition or recommendation by former choral director. Girls wear formal black dresses that are paid for by parents. Fund-raising projects offer an opportunity for earning the funds for these dresses and accessories.
