​The Choristers will have no obligations for the two weeks following school.  The dates are June 5th - June 18th.  Enjoy the summer!
Choir Camp Dates - Choir Camp will be from Thursday August 25th - August 31st.  Due to scheduling conflicts with Rosalyn we are departing in the middle of the week.  This may give us an opportunity to not only hold a concert but also sing a service while we are in Richmond.
