MoCo Elementary schools with good music and chorus programs

Isn't Eastern pretty close to the RFK metro stop? I'm pretty sure I remember getting there by Metro back when I was in high school.

The new Eastern is located .48 miles from the New York Avenue metro stop, according to the metro's website.

Cold Spring has a choral teacher who is great. More generally, 5th graders can sing in the county honors chorus. CCW - well, depends on your kid. Many children stay just one year, and it seems to be most popular when the children - girls especially - like the social aspect. My DC thought it was "boring." The middle chorus, Belle Canto, has a nicer director than the lower and upper, but in general they are serious, and not about fun singing.

DCYOP @ Eastern HS -- 0.4 miles from Stadium Armory station. DCYOP is also working to help parents form carpools and may stage groups to walk together to the Metro after class for older students. My DC will continue at new location even though much less convenient. It is a strong program and as a previous posted pointed out, especially great for middle and high school students. Open house is September 11. Fall semester starts the following week. Go to www.dcyop.org for more info.

Does anyone know if fifth graders can try out for county honors chorus without being in their school's regular chorus?
