Coppell Choir's 29th Annual Madrigal Feast -

"Follow Me in Merry Measure"

Hear ye! Hear ye! Lords and Ladies,

The King and Queen of the Coppell High School Madrigal Choir cordially invite you to a feast fit for a king, filled with music and merriment! Honored guests will enter the CHS Commons and travel back in time through medieval decor, colorful costumes, and period music. The Madrigal singers’ production, "Follow Me in Merry Measure,” will keep you laughing and promises to keep guests entertained. The evening will close with a short concert featuring holiday songs.

Dinner will be a bountiful buffet with your choice of entree (roasted chicken or vegetarian option), with side dishes, salad and a tempting dessert. It’s a meal fit for Kings and Queens!

The King will graciously offer two performances: Friday, December 8th and Saturday, December 9th, with seating beginning at 6:30 p.m., and the Feast beginning at 7 p.m. The King has decided to limit each night to 200 guests so be sure to make your reservations early. Dinner tickets are $25 or $30. Dessert tickets are available for just $10.

Dinner ticket sales will close on December 1, 2023 at 10pm, so be sure to reserve your seat today!
