This Week in Choir: Week 30

Good Morning Grissom Choir,

Congratulations to the cast of Grissom Musical Theatre’s spring production of “Frozen: The Broadway Musical” on a wonderful opening weekend! With over 30 Grissom Choir students involved on or off the stage, I highly encourage any remaining Grissom Choir students and families to come and support our students!

Another congratulations to our students that participated in this year’s Solo & Ensemble festival this past week!  We are excited to announce that Ava Cahue scored an Excellent Rating on her solo repertoire, and Ava Cahue & Lydia Lemons scored a Superior Rating on their duet repertoire!
