Each year ail the groups go to a contest with all the schools in the league. The con- test this year was held in St. Helens on April 4.The group did really well recieving high scores. The swing choir had a seperate contest, it was held at the Pacific Luthern University in Tacoma. They competed with select groups from big schools. All three groups go on tour every year to a different place. Last year and this year they went to the state capital in Olympia. Next year the choir groups are going to Dis- neyland.
