The RVCC Concert Choir sings in Gatlinburg!

From May 8-10 the RVCC Concert Choir loaded the bus and headed to Gatlinburg, Tennessee!  The weekend was filled with a mix of singing and having lots of fun!  The High School Concert Choir sang for judges and received a high score of Superior.  The choir also sang for the Sunday service at Trinity Lutheran Church in Pulaski where they were warmly welcomed for the service and a lovely lunch!  In between singing, the choir enjoyed the mountain top views of the Gatlinburg Sky Park, the roller coasters, rides, music, and flowers at Dollywood, a truly southern Barbeque Dinner and some free time to explore downtown Gatlinburg.  The choir sang with so much beauty and heart and soul it brought tears to the eyes of many and they turned around and had so much fun that smiles and joy filled their expressions.  Congratulations Concert Choir for the Superior rating, the extra meaningful singing at the church, and for sharing so much fun and choir friendships throughout the trip!

The RVCC singing their little hearts out in Williamsburg today! The B and B+ Choirs sang so beautifully!! They remembered to DWWR (Do What We Rehearse) and were poised, professional, and practically perfect!

Our chaperones and trip leaders are delightful and we're having a wonderful trip. Busch Gardens tomorrow and the Awards Ceremony. More fun to come!

A great day at Busch Gardens! At the awards ceremony both the B and B+ choirs received a Superior rating and the B+ choir also won overall best Middle School Choir. There was a lot of cheering and happy excitement!

We're heading back to the bus where I think we'll have some very happy and also tired choristers.

Choristers and Chaperones have made this a very easy and fulfilling singing performance and trip!

Congratulations to all!!

Pictures from the RVCC 2025 England trip!

The RVCC Concert Choir had a very successful Choral Festival, July 9-17 in London, Rochester, and Canterbury.  The festival was comprised of 5 American choirs, and we were the lead choir.   We were also the solo choir for Evensong at Rochester Cathedral, singing the liturgical chant music.  The music was GLORIOUS!  The acoustical ringing in the Cathedrals will always be remembered for its breathtaking beauty.
