All Middle School and Junior High School Choirs are cordially invited to participate in the Middle School/Junior High School Large Group Choral Festival on Friday, May 7, 2010 at the Brophy Chapel in Phoenix. The festival is designed specifically to provide a musical and educational experience for the middle school and junior high student.
