Well Done, Ladies!

Congratulations to the Concert Choir who performed beautifully at the PMEA adjudication at Immaculata University on April 13th. All three judges gave them an EXCELLENT rating in various areas of singing: intonation, expression, dynamics, just to name a few. To quote Sister Germaine, "I believe this performance was they best they have done this year, and I am very proud to be their director."
