Choir

Kilgore College’s Choir program offers students a focused, performance-driven way to study choral music while building practical musicianship skills that transfer to many musical and academic paths. Through participation in campus ensembles, singers develop healthy vocal technique, stronger sight-reading, and a deeper understanding of blend, balance, diction, and musical expression—skills reinforced in regular rehearsals and coached through public performances. The program typically explores a wide range of repertoire, which may include classical masterworks, contemporary concert literature, spirituals, folk songs, and music from diverse cultural traditions, giving students experience with multiple languages and styles. Choir members also learn the collaborative habits that define successful ensemble work: preparation, listening, professionalism, and responsiveness to conducting. For students planning to continue in music, the choir experience supports auditions and portfolio development and can complement coursework in music theory, ear training, and music appreciation. For non-majors, it provides a structured creative outlet and a community centered on shared artistic goals. Concerts and campus events connect the choir to the broader Kilgore community while helping students gain stage confidence and performance etiquette.
