Choir finishes year with amazing
Sing a Mighty Song!
concert!
|
The Costa choirs performed their Spring Concert, Sing A Mighty Song!, on June 8th. This concert featured all six choirs, and what a night it was. Because the banquet preceded the concert, the singers felt even closer to each other within their choirs and with their peer choirs. This created a concert filled with heart, emotion, and meaning that some are saying is the best concert the Mira Costa Choirs have given.
