More photos of the various vocal performers this evening

The vocal department sounded wonderful this evening. The last song was a special treat with all members of Lakeside and the Choirs singing together beautifully. The piece was composed by a JW alumni (Jake Narverud) and he was here as the accompanist this evening, Mr East directed, and Mrs Grose was featured on the French horn. Well done!

Love listening to the HS band.
