Congratulations to Chad Feaster, Max Kilmede, Meghan Krull, Savannah Legg, Jenna Pierre-Louis and Lexi Schieler! The students passed a very intense and challenging audition consisting of each student sight-reading five examples of college level music. The RHHS Choral Program continues to strive for excellence and train young artists to become mature and professional musicians.
