About the Greendale Choir
Founded in 2012, the award-winning Greendale Choir is an after school volunteer ensemble made up of over fifty 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students from Greendale Elementary School. The Greendale Choir gives several performances during the school year, including two major concerts at the end of the winter and spring semesters, which often feature guest artists from throughout the region. The choir regularly performs at the annual Abingdon Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, as well as several area nursing homes in the greater Abingdon area. The choir frequently combines forces with other elementary and high school choirs in Washington County for performances including the annual Abingdon High School Chorus Benefit Concert, and has been on tour to several area schools. The choir has also been chosen to perform at past meetings of the Virginia Association of School Superintendents, the annual Relay for Life event for Washington County, and the Washington County Education Foundation's Webathon fundraiser. The Greendale Choir has hosted premiere area guest conductors Shea Clay, Jane Morison, and Amy Potterton for workshops and performances. The choir annually travels to Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN to compete in the Music in the Parks festival adjudication, where it routinely receives a Superior rating and has won the Elementary All-Around Trophy for being the highest-scoring elementary choir at the festival. The Greendale Choir is under the direction of Mr. Bradley A. Fore.
