Last weekend, on January 27 and 28, at Detroit Country Day School, five students from the Notre Dame choir program participated in the regional Solo and Ensemble Festival sponsored by the Michigan School Vocal Music Association. The MSVMA program consisted of students who sing in front of a collegiate judge for comments and an overall rating.
According to Notre Dame Director of Choirs Dave Fazzini, out of NDP’s five solo performers in the competition, three qualified and have been invited to sing at the state festival, which will be held in the next couple of months.
