SLSing Off Smashing Success
The 2017 SLSing Off showcased strong St. Luke’s talent for a 4th year in a row. Seven student-formed a capella groups singing their own arrangements performed in front of their peers in the Black Box Theatre. Family and friends had the opportunity to hear the groups sing live when they performed again at the Upper School Spring Choir Concert.
This year’s theme was Music of 2016 and the groups competed in two categories: Chorale (11th & 12th grade) and Chorus (9th & 10th grade). The competing groups were the DoReMigos, Unaccompanied Minors, Bust-A-Note, Treble in Paradise, Deez Notes, Chordially Yours and the Rolling Tones.
