Past Tours

Our most recent tour was with the Glee Club over winter break in 2023. We showcased our holiday program to amazing audiences in Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and New York City. Some highlights included a walking tour of Independence Hall and lots of free time in NYC. It was certainly a significant bonding experience!

CSO Trip

We also had the opportunity to see the Chicago Symphony Orchestra perform in person this past spring! Not only did we get to hear some fabulous music (Bruch, Boulez, and Schumann), but we explored downtown Chicago beforehand, too!

Formal

This past year, we held a formal at the Potawatomi Conservatories!
