Choralairs are making it BIG!! Don't you forget about me, sings Don Soren- SOD Lisa Taylor performs at pep rally What can be said about the YHS Choralairs that hasn't already been said a thousand times over. The musical ambassadors of Yuma High had another banner year. From their fall concert to the year's grand finale, the house was packed as Mr. McBride's musicals covered all areas of popular music. Again, they traveled the state and the West Coast with their musical messages. A planned summer trip to Mexico City was cancelled following the tragic earthquake, however, plans are in the works for a future super trip. To sum up the professionalism in which the Choralairs entertain, some San Diego Padre officials couldn't believe they were a high school group when they entertained for them. CHORALAIRS 25
