Congratulations to the Performers at Maine West's Vocal Solo Night! #207Now #sing #useyourvoice @mainewestchoir @mainewestfab

Congratulations to the vocal soloists who performed spectacularly at Maine West Vocal Solo Night! This event, organized by Mr. Schiffer, provides singers in the Maine West Choir program the opportunity to sing with an accompanist for a judge who then provides valuable feedback, in a masterclass style and setting. Thank you to Mr. Matthew Hanes, South High Choir Director, for being an amazing adjudicator, and for providing such valuable feedback. We all learned so much about singing through your thoughtful and insightful comments.

HERE are photos from tonight's event.
