A Cappella Scholarship Festival

The Verdugo Hills Showtime Chorus was honored to sponsor the second annual A Cappella Scholarship Festival. The Festival was held on May 20, 2006, at the Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, CA., with ten participating high school and middle school choirs. After performing and being evaluated by judges, each participating group received a cash prize for its school's music programs. Cash prizes were made possible by a generous donation from the John C. Hench Foundation. Many thanks to these talented students and teachers for their participation.
