The Loveland choir finished behind, Los Alamitos High School’s SoundFX – CAMIXED in the mixed show choir competition.

Six qualifying events take place in Hollywood, Orlando (two weekends), New York, Chicago, and Branson. The top three mixed and top two single-gender show choirs from each WORLD CLASS DIVISION at each event will be invited to participate in the National Show Choir Finals the last weekend in April.”[/quote_box_right]

“I am so proud of the tradition of excellence the kids are creating,” said LHS Teacher and Show Choir Director Shawn Miller. “Through their hard work and amazing talent they have reached a level that many groups only dream about.”
