Junior Lancer Choir (2022-2023)
The Junior Lancer Choir (JLC) is an outreach program that was established in 2009 that is open to elementary and middle school music students. This group learns the fundamentals of music and singing. They perform at the annual Christmas and Lancer Pops Concerts in collaboration with the high school choral groups. Throughout the years this program has grown to include students from over twelve different local partner schools. Students from the Bishop Amat Choral program serve as mentors and are an integral part of the success of the program.
We are pleased to announce that the Junior Lancer Choir is back! After a long break, we are so excited to once again offer this FREE program to all students grades 3rd-8th. We are blessed to have on our staff this season, Ms. Micaela Macaraeg ‘18 who will be the director of the Junior Lancer Choir. Ms. Macaraeg recently graduated from the University of Redlands with a Bachelor of Music and she is excited to return to her alma mater to give back to the Amat Family.

In addition, members of the Junior Lancer Choir are able to join the cast of the Bishop Amat Spring Musical as Munchkins in “The Wizard of Oz.” This is an amazing opportunity that we hope our Junior Lancer Choir members will take advantage of. This is a bigger commitment and will require participants to supply their own costumes and attend more rehearsals. Each parent/guardian will have to work at least one show as a chaperone backstage. The application has more specific information regarding the mandatory dates and times of the musical.
We are certainly excited for this semester and look forward to an awesome season!
