On August 25th, a gala and silent auction was hosted in the cafeteria to fund raise for Greenwood’s three choirs: the beginners’, SSAA women’s, and SATB mixed choir. Soloist and small groups performed songs of their choice, as well as the acapella group. The choirs performed three songs each, and a combine performance with the women’s and mixed choir.
