Herndon Choir Students Support 2008
"Relay for Life"

Herndon Choir students joined the Relay for Life of Herndon organization by singing and participating in the Relay for Life event during the weekend of July 7-8 at the school. This was a great opportunity for the HHS choral program to give back to the greater Herndon community, and to support the American Cancer Society and cancer research.

The Relay for Life performers were the cast of this year's Broadway Cabaret, "They're Playing Our Song." The Madrigals also performed for the Survivor's Dinner. I would like to acknowledge the hard work of Liz Smith and Civanna Hoffman, both choir seniors, who spent much time coordinating the Relay for Life event in general. These two are great singers and stellar citizens! Congrats to all of the HHS singers who participated in the walk as well!
