SING, HAVE FUN, MAKE NEW FRIENDS!

YPC’s 8th Annual Honor Chorus Festival is Saturday, March 28, 2009. Students ages 12-18 are invited to this one-day festival where they will learn and practice a variety of songs including pop, gospel and world music and perform them in a concert that night for their friends and family. The festival is not only a day of fun and excitement, but participants will also have the unique opportunity to learn from professional musicians, conductors, composers and dancers.
