Choir

Hinds offers two vocal ensembles: Collegiate Choir and the Harmony. Please click the individual links for more information.

No, both auditioned and non-auditioned choirs are open to all students regardless of major. All ensembles contain a unique mix of students from many different degree and technical programs.

Please see Choir Audition Information for more information.

That depends on the number of choirs a student joins, but in general, it does not take a lot of time. Preparation time for the Collegiate Choir is minimal, and almost everything is covered during class meetings. Members of Harmony are expected to dedicate more time to practice and musical preparation outside of scheduled class meetings. Many of our students are enrolled in more than one ensemble, and some are members of the marching band as well. Students who receive a choir scholarship also enroll in voice lessons; thus, scholarship students should prepare to spend time preparing for voice lessons as well.

It is perfectly acceptable to attend classes on another campus. Some students choose to take classes at the Rankin Campus and drive to Raymond for choir and other courses. You will, however, need to make sure that your schedule will allow you to do so. Give yourself plenty of “drive time” to get to and from choir rehearsals and performances. If you receive a choir scholarship, it is not affected by which campus you attend.

Students at Hinds CC receive a thorough music education from a team of dedicated teaching faculty at an extremely affordable cost. Located in the picturesque Jackson Prairie, Hinds is the largest community college in Mississippi and provides an excellent education in a variety of academic and technical fields. Additionally, Hinds offers the student the option to live on campus for a more traditional college experience.
