““Under Charles’ direction, the chorus sounded impeccably strong! And they looked so charismatic, but most importantly- PROUD. We were pulled into each song and dance and monologue in ways I was not prepared for.
By the time “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas began,” I was already on the edge of my seat with emotion,
and by the end of that final song, I had tears I simply could not contain.””
