The choristers are planning a trip to New York City on Sunday, April 19, the Sunday after Easter. We have been invited to sing with the choir of the Church of the Transfiguration (the Little Church Around the Corner) one block from Fifth Avenue.

The Choristers are selling Fascia's chocolates for Easter to raise funds to cover the $1100.00 cost of the bus. Please see Chorister Academy director Maria Coffin or one of the choristers to purchase chocolates. Prices range from $2.95 to $10.95 for chocolate bunnies, crosses, and assorted chocolates. The last day to place an order will be March 22.

The cost for each girl is $720. The choristers will be selling plants for Mother's Day to defray this cost. Please support us!
