The West Central All-District Honor Choir is coming up on Saturday, March 5th at the UCM campus in Warrensburg! This is a wonderful opportunity for young singers from all over the West-Central District to join together in singing and having fun. Students will rehearse music with Mrs. Williams once a week during the month of February, and then travel to UCM on March 5th to rehearse the same music with an awesome choir director and give an afternoon performance to the community.
