"This is our end-of-year concert and I'm very excited to showcase what we've been working on all semester," said Dr. Jay Dougherty, Director of Choral Activities. "The students have worked hard and they're more prepared than they've been for any other concert I've conducted since I've been here."
Performing will be the Concert Choir, Women's Choir and Floodstage, an a cappella group like the popular group Pentatonix.
