VHS is the only choir program in the region of roughly 30 high schools to claim this honor. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unique to this year was when student Jessica Pronga conducted Chorale Women on their final piece at UIL, &#8220;The Parting Glass&#8221;. This is rare and it speaks to the talent, dedication and leadership of the students in the VHS choir program.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-4589\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fourpointsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_8237-e1463157255505-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_8237\" width=\"625\" height=\"833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fourpointsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_8237-e1463157255505-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fourpointsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_8237-e1463157255505-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.fourpointsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_8237-e1463157255505-624x832.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also in April, A Cappella and Concert Women choirs visited the Texas State Capitol to sing in the rotunda. The students were honored to perform there. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coming up, the Viper choir&#8217;s annual Spring Show is May 19 &amp; 20 at the VHS PAC at 7 p.m. both nights. This year&#8217;s theme is &#8220;Emotions&#8221; and will feature all choirs, soloists and ensembles, with creative theatrical elements, dance and costuming. Student leadership has worked hard to plan the theme for this year&#8217;s show and it should be the best yet. Tickets are $5 and there will be a silent auction to benefit the choir booster club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next year, the choir program will travel to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honolulu for the spring trip, scheduled for Mar. 9-14, 2017. Vandegrift dance, band and choir departments will be performing together in a special tribute to America at the Pearl Harbor Memorial.
