Espree is popular with school and community audiences throughout the Dallas area for musical talent, showmanship and exuberant performances.

Espree’s repertoire includes Broadway songs, Country favorites, classic hits from many decades, holiday songs, and current popular music. Solos, duets, and choreographed group production numbers, complete with costumes, highlight each performance.

Espree’s twelve singers and six instrumentalists are selected through competitive auditions each spring by a panel of independent expert judges, in cooperation with the director. Each singer is also a member of A Cappella Choir, the school’s top choir. Espree rehearses for a class period during each school day, enhancing their musical knowledge and skills and preparing for performances.

Over the years Espree has performed throughout Texas. Espree delights audiences in Colorado during their annual holiday ski trip. Twice, Espree has been selected to perform before 4,000 leaders from throughout the state at the annual convention of the Texas Association of School Boards; and in 1999 Espree performed for the Texas Retired Teachers Association convention.
