Merrimack Valley had a blast representing Region 1 on the International Stage this year in Kansas City, MO! We are proud to have placed third in the world for the Division A (small chorus) category. Our path to Kansas City began during our 2023 Region 1 competition in Springfield MA, when our score placed us in the top 5 out of more than 200 small chorus SAI contestants.
We started out our week in Missouri with coaching from Britt-Heléne Bonnedahl on Sunday and were energized for the rest of our week. We took some time for sightseeing, enjoyed a lot of BBQ, and spent a lot of time together as friends. We got the chance to sing at Union Station in front of a banner that read "I ♥ KC", and boy were the acoustics amazing!
