A Cappella
Scholarship Festival
The
Verdugo Hills Showtime Chorus was honored to sponsor the third annual
A Cappella Scholarship Festival. The Festival was
held on May 5, 2007, at Pasadena High School in Pasadena, CA with
eleven 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.
