The Rushville Consolidated High School A Cappella Choir recently toured New York City, performing in the National Festival of the States concert series. The following is quote from Paul Grizzard, choir director:

I personally enjoyed our performance at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine the most. After our performance we were allowed to stay and listen to other choirs, and after the last choir finished they allowed us to stay longer and sing in the great acoustics. The kids had changed clothes and we sang in a circle for ourselves, but were able to perform pieces from our Madrigal Dinners and other previous concerts just for the sheer beauty of music – an experience I will never forget.

Many of the students agree with me as to their highlight, but several others liked our clinic with Ira Shankman
of NYU the best. Overall, a very rewarding musical experience for me and the students.

Keep up the good work, MCI! I will be happy to serve as a reference!
