onors Choir s Snecial Honors choir is a group of specially selected people with a gift for singing and performing in front of a live audience. These people dedicated lots of time and effort in preparation for these concerts. The time spent was well worth it when, at the end of the year, they produced a tape along with the Varsity Voices and Girls Glee. This year was very entertaining.
