Come Follow that Star

The choir at Payson High has been practicing Christmas songs for a while to prepare for their annual Christmas concert. Year after year, the participants put on a show for all to hear. This year will be like no other, with new voices and experienced singers unified to enhance the experience.

Carolers have been an ongoing tradition for years, choir is basically a cooler version of caroling. Instead of standing out in the cold awkwardly smiling at singing visitors, you get to come to our warm school to do so!
