On Saturday, February 28^th, R. A. Long Choir Students competed at our regional vocal solo/ensemble contest held at Monticello Middle School.

As always, our Amazing Accompanist Riki Davis played for every one of these entries. The hours of practice and rehearsal she puts into this event are immense. She is a ROCK STAR!

Lastly, there were MANY choir students and parent volunteers who made this event possible. This was our second year of hosting, and it went smoothly because the kids and parents really showed up and made it happen.
