Huge congratulations to TOMS Chorus Director Rachel Rollins and her students Nevaeh McKinnies, Emma Spagnolo, and Lana Cantrell for their outstanding representation at the All-State Chorus clinic this past weekend!
Over two days, these talented students joined singers from across the state to prepare and perform beautiful music. Their hard work and dedication led to a phenomenal performance at the stunning Francis Marion Performing Arts Center. We are so proud of them and their achievement!
Please join us in celebrating their success and the incredible experience they had! #TOMSChorus #AllStateChorus #ProudMoment #MusicExcellence #FutureStars
