This year, soloists, vocal ensembles, instrumentalists, dancers, the jazz band, and the full choir program will perform 30 musical numbers. Some notable selections include: "Purple Rain" by Prince, "Under Pressure" by David Bowie and Queen, "Feels Good" by Chuck Mangione, "Creep" by Radiohead, “Blowin’ in the Wind” by Bob Dylan, “Big Yellow Taxi” by Joni Mitchell, and many more!!
