You know spring is always around the corner when the annual all-Ladue Choral Festival is held.

This year, the festival moved from the new Performing Arts Center to the Nielson Gymnasium. While the accoustics were not perfect, the more expansive area allowed for seating for everyone, and for all the performers to remain "on stage."

Students singers and musicans peformed to the delight of parents, siblings, grandparents, friends and neighbors and the like.

This is a sample of the perfomances from students at Reed, Spoede, Old Bonhomme and Conway elementary schools; Ladue Middle School and Ladue Horton Watkins Senior High.

One again, the entire musical staff of the district led all of these talented performers.
