Denver Choir Tour 2016

What an incredible trip we had!  We sang, we laughed, we learned, we experienced and we made new friends.  Highlights include the clinic at Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah, the visit to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City, the visit to the Denver Science Museum, the entertaining dinner at Casa Bonita, the Colorado Rockies win over the LA Dodgers, the delicious Hammond's Candy Factory tour, the beautiful 16th Street Mall, the incredible meal (date night) at Maggiano's, and of course, Sweeney Todd and The Two Cellos.  Throw in some bus trouble (thankful for our bus driver, Monte) and some fabulous chaperones and you have a successful tour.  The best part of the tour was our exchange with East High School in Denver.  The energy, joy and true love of singing was contagious! We will never forget our new friends and the sound of our two choirs combining to make music.  Thank you East High!  We hope you visit Montana some day soon!

Carroll College Choir on tour!

We were pleased to welcome Dr. Robert Psurny and the Carroll College Choir from Helena, Montana.  What a treat to hear such beautiful choral music!  We were also thrilled to see Brielle Bumgarner, a GHS alum, adding her lovely voice to the ensemble.
