The Intermediate trip to Music in the Parks was a success!  The performance was wonderful and earned the Intermediate Choir a Superior rating.  The Intermediates had the highest average score of all groups that performed that day - 96 out of a possible 100.
 
Congratulations to the Intermediate Choir!
