A Cappella
Scholarship Festival
The
Verdugo Hills Showtime Chorus was honored to sponsor the fourth annual
A Cappella Scholarship Festival. The Festival was
held on May 17, 2008, at Glendale High School in Glendale, 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
