Keystone State Boychoir Group Overview
Graduate Choir

The Graduate Choir is for young tenors and basses who have a desire to sing in a professional boychoir throughout their high school years.

Rehearsals: Graduate Choir rehearses every Saturday from 11:00 am until 2:00 pm.

Performances: Members of the Graduate Choir perform at the KSB Holiday and Spring concerts, the annual KSB Grad Concert and many other “non-CY” concerts throughout the season. The Graduate Choir also performs at the annual CY Gala concert at the Kimmel Center, although they may not sing every piece on the program due to balance challenges with the Towne Choir.

Saturday Absence/Make-up Policy: Each Saturday rehearsal consists of two sessions: the first runs from 11:00am to 12:30pm and the second runs from 1:00pm to 2:00 pm. A missed session requires one Sunday night make-up rehearsal. If a singer misses an entire Saturday rehearsal (both sessions), two Sunday night make-up rehearsals are required. Missing the “extended” part of an extended Saturday rehearsal (2:00 – 3:00) also requires one make-up rehearsal. Graduate Choir members are permitted to miss one Saturday rehearsal in the Fall semester, and two in the Spring semester without having to make them up. In addition to the allotted missed rehearsal(s) each semester, juniors and seniors may miss an additional rehearsal per season in order to take the SAT exam. Please see the KSB Attendance Policy addendum for further details.

Concert Tour: Members of the Graduate Choir are eligible to be considered for participation in KSB concert tours. However, in addition to singer-musicianship, attendance, and behavior, factors such as seniority and age are heavily considered. Therefore, the newest and/or youngest members of the Graduate Choir are the last to be considered for tour.
