Even though it is a smaller group. Girls' Glee displays that certain quality which is characteristic of all the vocal music ensembles. Director, Donald Reimer, attributes this accomplishment to the experience of members who have been singing for three or four years. This accounts for the groups continuity and experience at part singing which is needed for the improvement and success of such a group.
