Congrats to both show choirs as they traveled to West Liberty this weekend. There were 15 show choirs in competition. Bravo took first place in the prep division. AcaPella won overall grand champion, and brought home many caption awards: best choreography, best band, most original show, best costumes, and Mason VanGorp earned the best male soloist trophy, with the solo in “Welcome to the Black Parade”. Their next competition is this Saturday, at Benton Community in Van Horne.
