Our Show Choir attended the State Solo and Ensemble Festival at the University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh on Saturday, April 26th. They did an amazing job and earned a 1 rating- the highest possible score! Bella Gaiser and Savannah Ossanna also qualified for States with their solos, and scored a 2. We are very proud of all of their hard work!
The Show Choir students also had a great time at Olive Garden, doing some shopping, relaxing in the pool at the hotel, and of course, spending time with their friends.
It was a great trip and wonderful way to put a close to their 2024-2025 Show Choir season. If you’ve missed their performance, you have one chance left to see them at the 5th-12th grade Spring Choir Concert on Tuesday, May 13th at 6pm at ADJ.
Way to go, Tempo Tantrums!
