Singing Praises

Submitted by david.thacker on

The end of the school year can be a schedule nightmare, but for those who scheduled in a night to attend the choir's final performance on Thursday May 3, were treated to a musical dream. Choir Director, Sharon Hopkins, displayed her brilliant and talented students and high-lighted specials songs from a year of hard work.
 
All of the choirs combined to sing a stirring rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner". They continued to blend their beautiful voices as they sang a fun medley of songs from the musical Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat.
