Yesterday, students from the Monroe City High School Choir had the wonderful opportunity to participate in the Culver-Stockton College Honor Choir! 🎤🎼
Throughout the day, our students worked with guest clinician Dr. Lucus Orndorff, preparing three musical selections that were performed at the conclusion of the event.
Students also enjoyed a tour of the Culver-Stockton campus, and two of our students auditioned for vocal scholarships! 👏🎓
We are incredibly proud of how our MCHS vocal students represented Monroe City! Thank you for showcasing your talents, dedication, and Panther Pride!
Congratulations to all of our choir students! 🐾🖤💛
