Veterans Day at Apollo
Showtime!, Concert and Tenor Bass Choirs performed as part of the 2017 Veterans Day Program at Apollo. Beautiful sounds of "The Star-Spangled Banner", "America the Beautiful" and a combined piece titled "Thank You Soldiers" helped to show our thanks for those who have served in the United States Military.
Berkner's Encore Tours to Apollo

Choir Fees Due by the Winter Concert
Students can begin paying their choir fees immediately. Please make your payment before our Winter Concert on December 4th. We will have a table set-up in the gym that evening so parents can hand funds directly to a Berkner Area Booster Club volunteer.
1st year choir members owe $25 for t-shirt and uniform cleaning. 2nd year choir members owe $10 to cover the cost of the uniform cleaning.
Checks can be made to Berkner Area Choir Boosters (BACB)
