ATTIRE: For this Dress Rehearsal we would like for the singers to come to the rehearsal wearing all of the pieces of their uniform in the required manner. This way we can ensure that uniform pieces have not been lost or outgrown. This also gives us an opportunity to take "up close" photos for marketing use.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 9th GRADE GRADUATES!
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 7 YEAR "POCO to PRIMO" SINGERS
THANK YOU, GCCC FAMILIES!
Another concert season is coming to an end. Reflecting on the past 22 seasons there are many things that remain constant.
1. Each year we get students who LOVE to sing and do it very well.
2. We feel privileged to be a a part of their continued growth.
3. Our singers bring joy to audiences through their music at home and away.
4. This has been another successful year!
Our success is not due to the efforts of any one individual...It is a TEAM effort. In football, the 12th man is a reference to the fans who have a helpful and significant role in the game. Although the singers, music staff and GGs get the applause, our parents serve as the 100th singer (to coin a similar phrase for choirs). Thank you for serving as chauffeur, meal facilitator, uniform cleaner, music binder finder, calendar manager, and health supporter, so that we can do what we do to allow our singers to shine!
