Greater Phoenix Honor Choir
Congratulations!
We are so excited to congratulate two of our Catalina students - 7th graders: Alexa De la Torre and Esperanza Bueno. These choir students auditioned for the Greater Phoenix Honor Choir and were both selected! The honor choir will be performing at Camelback High School (4612 n. 28th st. in Phoenix) on Saturday Oct. 21st, at 3:30 pm, and all are invited.
Greater Phoenix is a two-day music festival for our performing musicians, and 2023-2024 marks the 39th year of the festival. Students prepare audition music and submit those auditions to a judge for evaluation. The judges from each section evaluate the auditions based on a rubric of musical elements, and then select representatives that meet the criteria to be in the Greater Phoenix Honor Choir. Being accepted into this prestigious event is a wonderful accomplishment for the individual student, and it also brings recognition and honor to their home school. Throughout the course of the festival, students learn the value of hard work, attention to detail, diligence, and to improve their collaboration skills with their PXU peers.

During this exclusive opportunity for Alhambra students, they had the chance to play with the Las Vegas Raider - Isaac Rochell, Seattle Seahawk - Marshawn Lynch, and Arizona Cardinals - Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald.
Additionally, we would like to thank New Era Cap for their $10,000 donation in support of our flag football program and for helping create memories that will last a lifetime for our students!
