This Week in CHoir: Week 34

Good Afternoon Grissom Choir,

All 4 curricular Grissom Choirs participated in the annual State Choral Performance Assessment last Monday & Tuesday.  As usual, our department was met with high praise and continued its tradition of scoring Superior & Excellent ratings. All 4 choirs received Superior Ratings in the Sight-Reading Room.  Men's Choir received Excellent Ratings on their 2 adjudicated pieces, Concert Choir received Overall Superior Ratings on their 2 adjudicated pieces, and for the 2nd year in a row, both the Chamber Choir & Women's Choir received Straight Superior Ratings on their 2 adjudicated pieces.  We are truly blessed to have such talented and dedicated students across the board in Grissom Choir. BRAVA, BRAVA!
