About Us The vocal music program at Carlsbad High School consists of both classical repertoires and show choir sets. The four award-winning choirs include: Chamber Singers, the advanced mixed choir; Encore, the intermediate women's show choir; Sound Express, the advanced mixed show choir; and Lancer Choir, the beginning mixed choir. Students learn sight singing skills, music theory, music history, as well as classical and modern music in multi-part harmonies. In addition to a Winter and Spring concerts, the choirs also compete with other choirs for trophies and awards. Carlsbad High School is proud to be the recipient of numerous awards both locally and nationally. The strength of the program is evidence of the commitment of our choir director, Ms. Christy Owen.
