Saturday, February 11th was a great afternoon for more than eighty-five Highbridge Voices students and their siblings to enjoy food, drinks, dancing, video games, and a great DJ during the 2012 Highbridge Voices Valentine’s Day Party.  This year's Valentine’s Day Party was our best attended yet, and what better way to make it through that last week of school before mid-winter break than to spend an amazing Saturday with your Highbridge Voices friends on a perfect February day?

In what has now become something of a tradition at Highbridge Voices, every student in attendance was also offered the opportunity to place their own hand print on the longest wall of Rehearsal Hall Two. By the end of the party, over 100 hands that were painted to mirror the colors of the gathering area covered the long white wall of the room that houses the Music Styles and Literature classes and Chamber Choir's Wednesday and Friday afternoon rehearsals.  It remains great fun for the students to see their own hand print as part of the decorations at the Highbridge Voices facility on Merriam Avenue.

After three and an half hours of dancing, eating, and playing, everyone agreed that the 2012 Highbridge Voices Valentine’s Day Party was a big success, and we were thrilled to see so many of our students celebrating Valentine’s Day with us. So, now it is only one week before mid-winter break which will usher in an amazing spring at Highbridge Voices.  Be sure to check back frequently to learn about our upcoming events.
