We attended this event last year as well, as our son has been invited to the festival each year. It's a short but pleasant opportunity to see talented singers from around the area get together and sing under the directio of someone other than their own school choic director.
This year's performance seemed to go quicker than last year's and I actually wished there had been another song or two.
Our son really seemed to enjoy the dance portion of the evening and two different people commented on how he really seemed to get into it and had such great rhythm.
A very pleasant evening.
