But Disney does not cover the chorus members’ expenses. Navarre High School “We have to cover our own expenses,” she said. “We have been bagging groceries, doing second at Winterguard some fundraising, and trying to help our students cover their Circuit Championships costs. We will be staying at the Disney All Stars resort – one of Navarre High School Navarre Winterguard are the least expensive.” Winterguard completed its Ashley Myers, Jeff Welsh, The students will leave May outstanding 2011 season with and Amber Green.

LaVere said she wishes there were more chorus programs in Santa Rosa County schools. “There are seven middle schools and only three – us, and Holley-Navarre Middle, and Avalon – have chorus programs,” she said. “But then there is even a bigger problem for students leaving here to enter high school if they are serious about vocal music. There are only three high schools in the county who have a chorus program – and Gulf Breeze High is not one of those. Navarre High has 150 students in their chorus program, and it is an outstanding program.” While Gulf Breeze News was in her class last week, she asked how many of her 50 advanced chorus students were zoned for Gulf Breeze High, and a quarter of the class raised their hands. She asked how many of those were planning to transfer from Gulf Breeze High zoning to Navarre High so they could enter the Navarre High chorus, and half of them said they plan to do that. “I have four students who have gone through my program here, and now have graduated from Navarre High chorus who are now in college training to become music educators,” LaVere said.
