President - Ruby Corpus
Hi! I’m Ruby! I may or may not be submitting this with only three weeks left of the school year… but I’m so excited to be a choir officer with all of these wonderful people! I'm a member of Vocal Impact, Chamber Choir, NHS, Tri-M, Drama Club, HUDDLE, and Students for Animals Club. I also serve as the Communications Director for Student Government besides being on the PR Team for choir. Outside of school activities, I dance at Hudson Conservatory of Ballet, volunteer as a RedCoat at Playhouse Square, and volunteer with the Akron Snow Angels. I love the choir program here at HHS, and I hope you do too!
Vice-President - Jack Dudas
Hi everyone!
I’m Jack Dudas and I’m a senior at Hudson High. I am SO excited to be serving as the Vice President of the choirs. I’ve been involved in choir since 6th grade, and at HHS, I have been in Men’s Choir, Chamber Choir, Concert Choir, and Vocal Impact. On top of choir, I am involved in the Drama Club and I was just inducted into the Thespian Society this spring. This year is bound to be interesting and continually unravelling, but I know Choir will continue to be a place that everyone can come together to create music, foster community, and have fun. Remember: there is always good in the world, and mindset is everything.
Here’s to 2020-2021
¡Salud!

High School Choir Officers
A successful choir program requires student leadership and a culture of committed singers who consistently exhibit character and a strong work ethic. As we strive to build an outstanding choir program at HHS together, serving as a Choir Officer is your chance to help the choir attain musical, personal, and organizational excellence, to bring your own input and influence to the choir’s various activities, to advocate for the choir within the school community, and to help build a positive and supportive student culture within our choir and school.
Participation as a Choir Officer is something that you can put on college, scholarship and job applications, and be proud of the contribution that you make - you will be actively contributing to something bigger than yourself.
A choir student leader should be:
• academically strong
• a self-starter and hard worker
• a creative problem solver
• an advocate for the choir program
• have a great attitude at all times.
Officers are expected to attend ALL choir functions. They should be proactive about anticipating work that needs to get done, and either volunteer for it or delegate choir members to do it. Choir officers are advocates for the choral program among the HHS student body, and the Hudson community.
Application
Choir officer appointments are made in the last few weeks of the school year. Depending on the interest and applications, elections may occur. An application will be posted on the Google Classroom and must be submitted by Wednesday May 18, 2018.
