These students joined several top choir students from other area schools in the subsection to rehearse and perform a concert on the evening of the choir contest. The honor choir participants from LCWM were Gavin, Daniel, Sam, Kalib, Abigail, Kaylie, Madi, Hazel, Grace, and Braylee. Sam and Madi were also selected to be featured for a spoken word solo in one of the pieces.
Social media can be great and not so great. Unfortunately, the individuals who post these links in the comments of the school pages and the LCWM Booster Club page are not legitimate and they are a scam. As a District, we try to delete them as soon as we see them, but it can be too late.
If you clicked on a link that was in the comment section of the Facebook posts throughout this tournament season, make sure to check your accounts!
Please ALWAYS only get the information directly from the school's website and the Activities Calendar. You can access the activities calendar by clicking it in the Quick Links menu at the bottom of the school website or Under Activities in Menu?
