TROUBADOURS FALL 2025

This semester, we look forward to preparing music for our Christmas Concerts in December in our bands and choirs, producing two more outstanding productions in our Drama program (An Adaptation of Les Miserables and Charlotte's Web - a Play), adding a new Screenplay Class and a new audition-only high school girl choir called Caprice, all while continuing our high-quality instrumental, choral, and theater curriculum for homeschool students in the Fox Valley.

PLEASE NOTE:

We ask that you CAREFULLY schedule the PERFORMANCE DATES below prior to registering for classes. And please consider your schedule in the 3 PRACTICES PRIOR to the PERFORMANCE, as attendance becomes increasingly important as the semester progresses.  

In all instrumental and vocal classes, the last rehearsal prior to the concert will serve as a dress rehearsal,

and attendance is mandatory for participation in the concert.

*Also, please note that if your students wish to audition for the Spring Musical (Anastasia), participation in a fall choir (Concert Choir, Caprice, or Trouvères) is a pre-requisite.

*The following students may register for Caprice (all other students would need to audition in the fall):

Shaffer, Strasburg, Lovett, Schleicher, Rex, Rocke, Evers, Piotraschke, Schafer, Kosmicki, Fochs, Tower.

All other interested Caprice students should indicate their interest to audition by checking the box below that registration section.  Thanks!

​​​​REGISTRATION:

​

Payments not made at the time of registration can be made by check or cash in the Dropbox next to the office in Belfry Hall

​

We do accept Virtual School and other home-centered education funding sources (AoE), provided they are subject to our terms:

​

Troubadours continues to offer a Family Cap for core Band & Choir classes to encourage students to explore their musical talents.

​

PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE BELOW, INCLUDING TIMES, CLASS DESCRIPTIONS, AND PRICING BEFORE REGISTERING FOR THE SEMESTER.
