YOU ROCK! I am so very proud of the work that each of my chorus's have done so well. Your performance in the Large Group Performance Evaluation was wonderful. Working hard has paid off. Each of you are a star in my book!
Looking forward: May 13th is our last chorus concert of the year. All three chorus's will be performing more popular arrangements than what has been sung earlier in the year. There may even be a little bit of dancing! Lets turn up the heat for some great singing here at the end of the year and show PMMS how great their singers are!
