Huron HS Choirs
The Ann Arbor Huron Choral program consists of four curricular choirs, an extra-curricular Chamber Choir, and five pop a cappella choirs.  Over the past 55 years the choirs have upheld the highest standard of excellence under the direction of Ruth Datz, Dr. Richard Ingram, Bonnie Kidd, and Kent Wattleworth. They have received superior ratings on a consistent basis at both district and state choral events and have performed at multiple state and regional festivals, conferences, and competitions both nationally and internationally.

They have performed with various professional organizations each year such as the Ann Arbor Symphony, Detroit Chamber Winds and Strings, and professional chamber choir, Sounding Light.    They will be performing in Ann Arbor this year with college choirs from Eastern Michigan University and Nebraska Wesleyan University. The choirs have completed eleven international tours and just went to Austria and the Czech Republic in March of 2025.
