We are so proud of our students who represented us at the SDPC Coral Festival at Easley First Baptist! 🎶
Our chorus did an amazing job, and a special shoutout to our very own music teacher, Allyson Southerland, who wowed the audience with her saxophone performance! 🎷
What a great night celebrating music and talent in our district! 💙
