Coming - Summer of 2010 - "Annie Jr."

Students in grades 6-9 will be able to try-out for a summer musical experience sometime in May of 2010.

WCDA Convention Jan. 27th, 2009

Our performance at the Wisconsin Choral Director's Convention in Eau Claire, Wis., was a wonderful experience.  Our choir performed for a group of directors from many different sizes of High Schools and Universities.  After the performance, Dr. Faerber from UWS worked with our choir on diction and expressiveness after highlighting the areas in which they excelled.  The session was entitled "Little Becomes Much".
