– Psalm 9:1
Great Lakes Adventist Academy seeks to bring its students a broad education that will prepare them for a life of Christian service. As part of this education, we offer the opportunity to participate in a variety of choral and instrumental music experiences, including our Choir, Chamber Singers, Wind Symphony, Strings, and our Handbell Choir. Each group is dedicated to personal musical improvement, performing quality music, and most importantly, sharing the gospel through their music. Each year, GLAA music ensembles perform weekend tours throughout Michigan. Our touring schedule includes an annual week-long tour out of state. Previous tour destinations include Chicago, Indianapolis, New York City, Alabama, Atlanta, Tennessee, Philadelphia, Louisville, Dallas, St. Louise, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico.
