About the
Concert Choir The Long Beach High School Concert Choir has a long and valued history of commitment to excellence. As having been acknowledged as one of the finest high school choral programs in the South, the Concert Choir and its additional ensembles, during the past 30 years, has received countless superior ratings at district, state, and national levels. In 1980, the Concert Choir performed a solo concert at the National Convention of the Music Educators National Conference. The Choir has pursued cultural studies while performing for audiences in Canada, Mexico, Germany, Hungary, Austria, Spain, Switzerland, England, Scotland, and throughout the United States. In addition to performing for Presidents Reagan and Bush, the Concert Choir was the first South Mississippi High School choir to perform a solo performance at New York City’s famed Carnegie Hall as well as singing in St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The Choir, for over 25 years, founded and hosted the Gulf Coast Choral Festival - a festival that eventually became the largest choral festival in the state. Under the direction of Joel Dunlap, the 2008 Concert Choir traveled to Florence, Venice and Rome, Italy for a 10-day concert tour. The Choir performed at such world-renowned venues as St. Mark's in Venice and St. Peter's Basilica in Rome - the largest church in the world. In the summer of 2011, the Concert Choir will again travel overseas. The Choir will tour England and France and perform in such venues as Beth Abbey, Canterbury Cathedral, St. Paul's Cathedral, Eglise de le Madeleine, and Notre Dame Cathedral
