- Esprit is a treble choral ensemble that will consist of Freshman-Senior Sopranos and Altos.
- All show choir members in either group are highly encouraged to participate in the curricular music program at WWSHS (choir, band, or orchestra).

Typically, Esprit will rehearse from 4pm-6:30pm and Classics will rehearse from 6:30PM-9:30PM every Monday and Thursday. In addition to rehearsals, there will be some community performances and 5 competitions. The competition schedule will be challenging and take us to some high-profile events throughout the country. We will also host the annual WWS Choral Classic, held on March 10 and 11, 2023.
