Holiday Music

The Colleyville Heritage Ovation Jazz Choir is an auditioned ensemble of some of the most outstanding musicians in the Colleyville Heritage Panther Choir Program. The group performs a wide range of repertoire including traditional vocal jazz and contemporary a cappella music both on campus and throughout the community. Members of the Ovation Jazz Choir also sing as part of the 68 member Colleyville Heritage Panther Chorale, the premier ensemble of a comprehensive choral program of eight ensembles and approximately 185 students that make up the CHHS Panther Choirs. The Panther Choir seeks to provide a rich music education for students with an emphasis on building strong character through music participation. The students in the Panther Choir represent the diversity of activities offered on our campus through involvement in other fine arts, rigorous academics, athletics, student leadership and service organizations. Under the direction of Thomas Rinn since 2014, the CHHS Panther Choirs have quickly established a reputation for high level choral performance receiving consistent UIL Sweepstakes awards and accolades at festivals across the United States. Students maintain active performance schedules both as ensemble members and as soloists performing in our community, across the state, nation, and on international performance tours.  The Panther Chorale is honored to have been selected as a performing ensemble for both the Texas Music Educator’s Association and the Southwest American Choral Director’s Association conventions in 2018.
