Gena Conder with the 7th and 8th grade choirs from Chickasha Middle School
 
The CMS choir is comprised of 50 plus 7th and 8th graders. They meet daily in the afternoon during two separate hours, so it is exciting when they have performances, such as this, to be able to combine the two groups.   The students perform a variety of music and participate in concerts and contests, as well as local events.    The CMS choir is under the direction of Mrs. Gena Conder and assisted by Mr. Matthew Givens.
