It was a great day in Bruin Country!
The Western Branch Middle School Choirs competed in the Music In the Parks Festival and then enjoyed a day at Busch Gardens! We didn’t just ride roller coasters -- we also brought home plenty of new hardware!
RESULTS:
Concert Choir – 1st Place
Treble Choir – 1st Place
Tenor/Bass Choir – 1st Place
But wait…there’s more! One of our songs was accompanied by a 7th grade student and he won Best Student Accompanist!
