May highlights for Choir!
On April 12th, Vocal Ensemble participated in the Citrus Hill SCVA Festival with a very challenging program of Hakenberger’s “Exultate Justi,” C. V. Stanford’s “Justorum Animae” and Mozart’s “Dies Irae”’from the Requiem. Not only did they receive a Superior rating, but also a perfect score. Congratulations to all the talented singers who sang with such integrity, artistry and skill. Everyone is so proud of all of you!
On April 23rd, Mira Costa Choirs hosted Andrea Gardner and her 60-voice combined choir from Diamond HS in Anchorage, Alaska, and Dr. Lee Nelson and the 80-voice Wartburg College Choir, at nearby Manhattan Beach Community Church. The Vocal Ensemble and Mustang Chorale joined in for an exciting morning of great choirs. What a fantastic day of sharing choral music. Thanks to the guests and their wonderful choirs!

Choir Dept. CPK Fundraiser – Monday, June 3rd
Announcing a Choir Dept. Fundraiser at California Pizza Kitchen!
Please join us at CPK in the Manhattan Village Mall on
Monday, June 3rd.
All students, parents, family, and friends are invited.
When you purchase your meal, just mention you’re there for the Mira Costa Choirs fundraiser, and the restaurant will donate 20% of your meal’s price back to the choir department.
We’d like to get all Costa choir students together at CPK for dinner right after the final spring concert rehearsal that evening. Rehearsal ends at 5:30, so it would be great if everyone could be there around 5:45-6:00.
If you can’t make it for dinner, come anytime that day from 11am-10pm and just let your server know you’re there to support the Mira Costa Choirs.
