CG Choirs Sweep FAME Chicago
This weekend, March 20th-21st, CG Sound
System, The Debtones, and CG Singers all competed at FAME Chicago
National Competition. On Friday, CG Singers were named Grand
Champion in the concert choir division. The Debtones (unisex
division) and CG Sound System (mixed division) then competed in the show
choir competition on Saturday. Both choirs were named Grand
Champion in the selective divisions. Sound System also received
caption awards for Best Vocals. Brandon Comer of Sound System was
also named best male performer for the competition.
Congratulations to all the choirs for an excellent competition season! |
Music is a universal art form, which not only contributes to the
development of our students, but it enriches their lives! The Center
Grove choral music program offers vocal music performance in one of
several large groups. Those groups include CG Sound System, Debtones, CG
Singers, Surround Sound, Chorale, Descants, Gents, Accents, and
Symphonic Choir.
Students also learn to work together through teamwork and form
many life long friendships. More importantly, music is an outlet for
enjoyment, story telling, creativity, and growing! Each year our
students have a chance to compete and take with them memories that will
last a lifetime! |
