WELCOME . . .


Amarillo Youth Choirs, Inc. is celebrating its twentieth season.  Under the direction of Artistic Director, Jerry Perales, the “Concert Choirs” have been nationally recognized, and continue to earn performance trophies and recognition every year.  The Amarillo Youth Choirs program includes the Amarillo Boy Concert Choir, the Amarillo Boy Preparatory Choir, the Amarillo Girl Concert Choir and the Amarillo Girl Preparatory Choir.  The Amarillo Youth Choirs, Inc. is dedicated to the purpose of teaching boys and girls the joys of vocal music in a friendly, disciplined, and encouraging environment.

Membership in our four choirs currently stands at 222.  Both boys and girls may audition for the Boy Preparatory Choir and Girl Preparatory Choir as early as the third grade.  These choirs focus primarily on the fundamentals of voice and performance.  Older boys with unchanged voices may be accepted in the Boy Concert Choir at the director’s discretion.  Older girls are auditioned for the Girl Concert Choir and are accepted until the eighth grade.  Each Concert Choir provides an excellent opportunity for our young men and ladies to learn what is expected from them as choir members and to sample the enthusiastic acceptance shown to the choirs by many audiences.  Each choir normally rehearses only once a week during the school year; however, the performance level is extremely high.

Three season concerts are given by all choirs in Amarillo as well as various concerts throughout the area including 16 in-school concerts.  Every January, AYC sponsors an annual vocal camp available to all boys and girls, 2nd - 6th grades.  Classes offered during this camp include “See It, Sing It, Live It!” (sight-singing), “Movin’ & Groovin’,” “Performance Perfection,” “Ensemble Extravaganza,” and individual mini voice lessons.  In August, AYC offers an annual one-week music theory camp where boys and girls, 3rd - 7th grades can expand their musical theory   knowledge.

Members of “Spotlight”, a small group of our young men that features choreography and lighter music, and “Pizzazz”, a select group of our ladies that also features choreography and lighter music, rehearse extra hours to provide entertainment often requested for community functions and other special events.
