Coppell ChoirWeekly NewsletterNov 23rd - Dec. 6th 2025

Dear Coppell Choir Family,


We hope you have a restful Thanksgiving break. We are so thankful for our Coppell family and community.


Students, thank you for always giving your best and allowing us to encourage you to reach your full potential in our daily rehearsals. We love you and appreciate your hard work and passion. We are so grateful for each one of you.

Parents and guardians, thank you for continually supporting the arts and for always being there for our students. Your endless support and love mean the world to us.


๐ŸŽตPre-Area Audition Celebrations

We would like to take a moment to celebrate our singers who participated in the TMEA Pre Area Auditions on Tuesday, November 18, 2025. We are thrilled to announce that 10 of our Coppell Choir students will advance to the fourth and final round of the TMEA All State auditions this January at the University of Texas at Arlington.

This accomplishment is especially impressive because this was one of the most challenging rounds in the process. Only the top five singers in each voice part advance to Area. Out of 40 available spots, our students earned 10 advancing positions as well as 5 alternate positions.

We are extremely proud of our singers for continuing to set the bar high through their dedication, talent, and hard work. Their commitment is inspiring and this achievement reflects the strength and excellence of our Coppell Choir program.

Please join us in congratulating and celebrating our amazing students and their directors for this outstanding accomplishment. Thank you for your continued support of our Fine Arts community.
