On Friday April 8, 2016 I attended a choral concert at the Leo J Welder Center. The concert began at 7:30, and it lasted about an hour. The concert consisted of the Victoria College Choirs and the Victoria Civic Chorus, with Marylynn Fletcher as the conductor. Most of the music played was retrieved from Operas and Pictures.

The audience sat down on their seats and clapped when the choir was done.The singers also had a variety of age groups. The men wore black button up shirts and slacks. The women wore dark colored blouses, for example blue and purple, and black slacks. The singers stood on the stage as they sang while colored stage lights shimmered on them.

The way he sang it sounded somewhat romantic which is why I really enjoyed it even though it was a short song. Most of the songs from “The Student Prince” were very interesting, but Golden days was my favorite catchy
