Congratulations to seven SGS Upper School students for being chosen for this year’s All-State Choir. SGS Music Director David Demand reports that Max Romoff, Oliver Ling, and Esther Buchner were named to the All-State Mixed Choir. Sheba Chen, Reagan Heller, Evie Thorp, and Ellie Wolf were selected for the All-State Treble Choir.
All-State is February 17-19, 2024 in Yakima. After two days of rehearsal, the choirs will perform a public concert on Saturday evening. (Get a taste of their talent with a video of most of these students and David Demand singing the National Anthem acapella.) Go Dragons!
