Lex Cath Choir has CD's!

Above: The Lexington Catholic HS Combined Choir, in full, massive glory at the 2008 Christmas Concert

The recent LCHS Christmas Concert was a huge success. Choir Director Adam Beeken reminds all parents and music lovers that the choir has three different CD's (the best of each of the last three years) available for purchase - only $15 each! They make wonderful Christmas gifts, of course.

[Editor's aside: As a former choir/band parent, I say with all impartial enthusiasm that I am SO GLAD I bought my students' CD's back in the days of yore....]

And by way of a sneak preview, LCHS will present the Tony-award winning "Thoroughly Modern Millie" as its spring musical in 2009! More details to follow...
