Is there a difference between "Women's" and "Prep" division? It appears all three of those choirs are women's show choirs - so I just want to make sure it's listed properly here. Then lastly and more general, does anyone know what West Branch's women's show choir is called? It appears to be new this year.
1) I haven't received the official information from the school yet (due December 14th). I can get you the groups specific category (Prep or Women's) then!
2) I will get you that information when I get it on December 14th!
Thanks for the schedule! Two quick questions about this part:
