Parents, Students and Staff:
We, at Washington County High School, are being proactive in our preparation for our 2026 Black History Program. (date to be announced)
We would appreciate you giving your talents toward an all male chorus to perform during our Black History Program this year. Yes, an all male chorus to sing of the celebrations, challenges and causes of African American culture. You don't have to have perfect pitch; just the zeal to be a part of a great experience. Voices are not only needed; we need instrumentalists as well. (keyboardist,
saxophonist, etc.)
Please contact Mrs. Robin Bell or Mrs. Sandra Arnold at Washington County High School at 252-793-3031 with questions and concerns.
We look forward to carrying a "note" with you!
