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, “The Parting Glass”. 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’s annual Spring Show is May 19 & 20 at the VHS PAC at 7 p.m. both nights. This year’s theme is “Emotions” 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’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.
