Welcome to Powhatan High School and on behalf of the choral students, boosters, and booster executive board, I would like to thank you so much for participating in this year’s “Diamond” Classic! Over two days, March 21-22,2025, there will be amazingly-talented concert & treble show choirs (Friday) and mixed show choirs (Saturday) of about 1,200 students presenting their hard work on stage for your entertainment. I truly hope you enjoy the performances and remember to show all the choirs your appreciation by your applause, shout outs, and cheers. I’m excited to see your shows, learn from your performances, meet everyone I can, and most of all show the support you need to be successful on and off the stage.

 

I am in my 7th year as the PHS Choral Director, and I can’t tell you how much hard work goes into building up an event like this, but it’s through your support that the Powhatan Choral Department is able to host what we hope will be a memorable experience for each and every person present, whether you are on stage performing or in the seats supporting these student performers. I started my show choir career in 1992 and am so blessed to be the director here at Powhatan.

 

The Powhatan Choral students, our incredibly passionate boosters, parents, supportive administration, and I wish all participants the best of luck for a fantastic showing here and an enjoyable experience in what for many will be their last competition of the 2025 show choir season! Thank you so much to the Powhatan Choral Boosters, the many volunteers, alumni, and students for all the countless hours you have put into not only the Diamond Classic, but the entire choral program.

 

We look forward to seeing everyone March 21-22, 2025!
