2015 Awards Banquet Ticket Orders

Make plans to attend this year’s choir awards banquet where we will announce our award & scholarship recipients, install next year’s council of officers, reflect on a fun and successful year with a slideshow, honor our seniors, and even share in some jokes. Our dinner this year will be a great meal from Kenny Blanek catering.

There is no guarantee of ticket availability at the door on the day of the event.
