Concert Choir and Chamber Choir both received “Superior” (1) ratings and our Freshman/Sophomore Treble Choir received an “Excellent” (2) rating. I cannot begin to tell you how hard these students have worked; they were given challenging literature to learn and really stepped up their level of performance this year. I would also like to add that their behavior was as impressive to me as their performances. 4/18 L. Smith
