Ta-Da! Our FIRST PLACE TROPHY!
|
That's right, the Beaufort High School Voices won First Place AND Most Outstanding Choir!!! NATIONAL COMPETITION! Aaaah!!
We were all so excited and screaming, and after the awards were given out, we danced the night away.
While we were there, we also had the opportunity to go see the Inauguration, which was wonderful. Unfortunately I was told that my camera would not be allowed in the area (which was a lie) so I didn't bring it. But nonetheless, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! I was so happy to share this trip and have it as my senior year trip.
