Little Bucs Registration is now OPEN for the 2026-2027 School Year! Registration closes Friday, September 12th! SPACE IS LIMITED and the site will shut down when maximum capacity is reached. 

REGISTER YOUR CHILD FOR LITTLE BUCS HERE!

Little Bucs Chorus is designed for kids in grades 3 & 4 who love to sing! The group will meet once a week during H period (2:20-2:55) beginning the week of September 22nd. No audition needed to be a part of this group! Students learn proper vocal techniques through singing exercises, games and other activities. Students have various school performances throughout the school year and also encouraged to participate in other performance opportunities such as the school cabaret, National and Regional Honor Choirs as well as the Delaware Children's Honor Choir. There are also opportunities for field trips and other exciting musical events throughout the year! Students in 4th grade can participate in both Little Bucs Choir and 4th grade band if they choose. These opportunities do not conflict with each other. Students must remain in good standing academically with their teachers and also demonstrate good sportsmanship and behavior. Being a member of this ensemble is a privilege.  

​Little Bucs students will wear our performance top along with either black dress code pants or black dress code skirt for MOST of our performances. More information will follow if our performance attire will be altered in any way for a specific performance. If you are a new to the ensemble you will see the space to order your child's performance top on the registration link. ​

American Young Voices Concert:

​Time: 11am- 10:30pm
(Prudential Center: Newark, NJ)

The benefits of a child's involvement in music are well-documented: but the benefits of being in the biggest school concert is quite simply life-changing. Having the opportunity to perform in some of the country's most renowned arenas has a massive impact on the children involved.
From the day the AYV music is introduced to over many months of rehearsals to the day of the performance, American Young Voices culminates when 8,000 children from hundreds of schools come together for a once-in-a-lifetime event. Instantaneously, there is an enormous sense of individual and collective achievement gained from this memorable and special experience.
One of the highlights of the whole process is to see the pride that the children have in their own performance, which is further amplified when their parents and families are able to share the experience as part of the audience.
