WHAT WE DO.
Grissom Choir has held a standard of excellence for the vast majority of its active years at Grissom High School. The program is consistently known for its dedication to classical choral singing, as well as its inclusion of vocal jazz/pop repertoire. Every year, each choir in the department scores (Straight & Overall) Superior & Excellent Ratings at both the State Choral Performance Assessment, as well as at the Alabama Solo & Ensemble Festival. Many of our students are involved in Huntsville's All-City Choral Festival, as well as Alabama's All-State Choral Festival each year, with students being selected as Huntsville City, District V, and Alabama State Outstanding Choral Students. Over the past 7 years, Grissom Choir has risen to be one of Alabama's premier high-school choral programs, receiving invitations to perform across the state, nation, and world. Under Mr. Ratcliff's direction, Grissom Choir has performed alongside the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra ('19), on the Carnegie Hall Stage ('18), in the Alabama Music Educators Association In-Service Conference ('22), at the ACDA Collegiate Choral Festival (’23) and at the State Capitol ('23, ’24). After years of preparation, Grissom Choir made its international, Costa-Rican debut last summer (’23), sharing music with the citizens of San José and Arenal.
