The six choirs available at Seven Lakes are:

  • Chorale
  • Cantiamo
  • Bel Canto
  • Sensations
  • Men's Choir
  • The Statesmen

For more information about each of the choirs see below. Forms, fee information, required materials and photos for each choir can be found using the links to the right.
