Welcome to the Niceville High School Choral Music Program and our Choral Boosters Association. Our Choral Director, Michael Dye and assistant, Jennifer Vest are two of the most dedicated individuals you and your student(s) will have the pleasure of working with during their music career.
Our Booster organization is very active in the daily activities of the choral music department. The goal and purpose of our organization is to help build, develop, support and maintain our music program in every way possible. We accomplish these goals with the dedication and support of you, our Booster members. Our members help by chaperoning events and performances throughout the season such as our annual Holiday Concert at NWFSC; manning special events like our annual Potluck Dinner at the beginning of each school year, helping distribute tickets to our various events – Holiday and Spring Concerts; helping with measurements and distribution of uniforms; and fundraising which is an ongoing process throughout the school year each and every year.
We are always receptive to new and exciting ideas to help achieve our goals and you are invited! Please let us know your special talents, experiences and/or associations.
