Our Chorus Concerts are on WEDNESDAY, May 15th, 2019. Please remember to wear a white shirt and black/dark pants or a skirt.
Remember to review all the lyrics for our songs. ALL music will be sung from memory! :-)
If it helps you to memorize these pieces, I've included a few links for you to rehearse with during your spare time.
