selected to participate in the 2003 California All-State Honor Choir.

skills. They learned a challenging repertoire for a recent

performance that took place at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. Daniel

Honor Choir earlier this year.

Burroughs Chamber Choir/Powerhouse placed first at all five local

show choir competitions this year, sweeping all top awards, including

musicianship and showmanship categories.
