This exciting performance group open to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students from Sperreng and Truman middle school. We perform a wide variety of music including current popular music and broadway style show tunes. Students need no prior singing or dance experience, but must be actively committed to learning how to do both. Required rehearsals take place Fridays after school at Truman Middle School till 5:15. Carpools can and will be coordinated from Sperreng to Truman as needed. We perform in a winter and a spring concert. In May we compete at Six Flags St. Louis.
