On Tour 2010: In Remembrance

Sunday, June 6, 2010, 7:30 pm
Church of St. Augustine, St. Cloud

This annual tradition is regarded as the best concert of the year. The Concert and Junior Varsity Choirs will present music that they will take with them on their respective tours and represents the culmination of a hard year’s work. In 2010 we commemorate the 65th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, and so SJBC will pay special tribute to the valiant men and women who risked their lives in the service of their country in order to preserve the desirable qualities of freedom and peace. Selections from the concert will honor this theme with their year-end concert on the 66th anniversary of D-Day.
