Combined League Honor Choir

CLHC is open to students in grades 9-12 located north of I-70 and east of the continental divide.  It’s a wonderful event that gives students, especially those who aren’t in All-State, the opportunity to be in a high-quality ensemble.  We couldn’t be more thrilled for them to work with our singers! The festival will be at the Union Colony Civic Center in Greeley on February 5th.
