GALLERY, VIDEO: St. Michael-Albertville High School, Middle Schools Sing it Loud

The annual choir concert featuring high school and middle school students was a resounding success, with performances that brought the audience to their feet Monday night at the high school performing arts center.

Monday, January 23rd, the St. Michael-Albertville school choirs from grade 7 through grade 12, performed in their annual Choral Festival.

More than 400 students sang during the course of an hour long performance at the St. Michael-Albertville High School Performing Arts Center.

The songs were a mixture of tempos, languages and periods sung by both girls and boys separately, closing with a combined number of all choirs and genders. Choir students who also play in band added percussion on select numbers.
