The Minneapolis Junior-Senior High School auditorium was filled with harmony and pride during the annual Fall Vocal Program on Monday evening, October 27. The Junior High vocal group opened the evening with beautiful performances such as A Starry Night by Mary Lynn Lightfoot, Harvest Moon by Cristi Cary Miller, and Clap Your Hands and Sing Hallelujah by Don Besig.
The High School Concert Choir followed with powerful renditions of When Peace Shall Come by John Purifoy and He Never Failed Me Yet by Robert Ray, featuring impressive solos from Alanna Wilson, Elle Scott, LeeShawn Grindstaff, and Aiden Oppenheim.
The Vocal Select Group, New Image, energized the crowd with Roar, arranged by Alan Billingsley, and What Was I Made For, by Andy Beck, highlighted by Elle Scott’s solo and choreography by Kaegan Hardesty and Elle Scott.
