Ayala High School serves about 2700 students in the Chino Hills community. Our student population is very diverse and that reflects in our choral program.This advanced ensemble consists of 9-12 grade Tenor/Bass Voices. This ensemble regularly receives “Superior” ratings at SCVA festivals, invitations to festivals hosted by local universities, and “Gold” Ratings at Worldstrides Heritage competitions throughout the United States. At the Worldstrides Heritage festival in New Orleans in 2021, this ensemble received a “Gold” rating. We look forward to community performances like our local shopping mall’s “Tree Lighting Ceremony” around the holidays and performing at retirement homes. The Ayala High School Choral Program is more than a simple choir class at school. Students acquire skills that can be applied to real-world career and social settings. The Mater Dei High School Choral and Vocal Program in Santa Ana, California with serves a vibrant and diverse community from all over Southern California. It is made up of 11 ensembles, comprised of 300 students active in all areas of campus including athletics, the arts, ASB, and more! The choir performs a broad range of music, focusing on a cappella literature and large choral works, and has toured extensively in the United States and Europe. From the Metropolitan Opera stage to Broadway, alumni are continuing the tradition of artistic excellence instilled in students in the Mater Dei Choral and Vocal Music Program. Most importantly, however, the Mater Dei Choirs work to be open and accepting of all, focusing on equity and diversity in order to serve the campus and beyond and enrich the life of each of its singers.
