About Ripley High School Choral Department

The People Behind the Voices

Ripley High School has a rich history of excellent choral ensembles over the years. The community still fondly speaks of Blue Persuasion and has a passion for that same excellence to be provided to today's youth. Ripley's choir is active within the state-wide organizations and has had students represented in the West Virginia Chapter of the American Choral Director's Association, West Virginia All-State Chorus, and have gone on to perform on larger stages. As the choir takes on new leadership, there will be a movement to track downed catch up with the alumni of Ripley High School's Choirs and document how far a small town voice can make big city impacts in this world.
