The Ripley High School Choirs are selling Viking Air Fresheners in two scents: Clean Laundry & Pumpkin Spice! They smell heavenly! Choir students will have an order form. If you don't know a choir student, there is an online order form with a PayPal link. If using this, please allow at least one week for the forms to be reviewed and fulfilled.

Happy Saturday, everyone! Exciting news from us!
Mr. Ricks is now the choir director at Ripley Middle in addition to his position with Ripley High School Choirs (Mr Ryder's shoes aren't easy to fill)!

This page will now serve as a platform for both choir programs, working together to continue the legacy of music excellence in Jackson County.

Please share this information graphic regarding the Ripley Middle School after school choir, Viking Voices. It is open to those Ripley Middle band students that have a conflict with choir during the day, the choir students that want more, or for those of you wishing to give this "choir" thing a try!
We will start on August 26th until 4:15 PM in the RiMS Choir Room. The first performance is the "Meet the Choir Night" on September 30th! Please share and encourage your middle schooler to participate in our after-school choir.

As always, thank you for your love and support of the performing arts. I'm so grateful.
-Mr. Ricks

Two Ripley "Phoenix Blue" Show Choir members have landed at Showchoir Camps of America. Maynard and Torin are improving and investing in their leadership and performance abilities this week with great thanks to our boosters and our sweet choreographer Brooke Smolder.
It's always such a transformative and empowering week with so much professional development, stellar performances, meeting arrangers like Roger Emerson, and hearing from Broadway performers!
Congratulations to these two young men for representing our town and for their contributions to our choir program!
