Update:  What an evening of celebration!  I am so proud of all of the choirs.  You have all come so far since the October concert.  Click on this link to see photos by Pete Sauer:May Concert 2016

The final concert of the school year, under the direction of Sandee Sauer, will open with the hit tune “Budapest” sung by all of the choirs.  The evening will progress with a variety of music from Elvis Presley to Disney, from Manhattan Transfer to acapella, and from gospel to the Pentatonix.  Many musicians will be honored with various awards including varsity letters, the Fred Waring Director’s Awards and the National School Choral Awards.

Debby Gardner and Kristen Toren will accompany the choirs. Guest musicians include Klaus Rohrbach on percussion, Paul Bruce on bass and Ben Bridwell on guitar.

Senior visual artists and culinary art students will also have their artwork on display in the Fine Arts hallways.  Come and see..., and taste some amazing artistry.

The art show opening is from 5-8pm, but feel free to check it out before, between, or after the choir performances.

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!

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.
