STJ students at the 2022 All-State Choral Festival in Birmingham, AL

This past weekend, several Saint James choral students attended the Alabama Vocal Association All State Choral Festival at the BJCC in Birmingham, Alabama. The All-State Choral Festival is a three-day event that culminates in a professionally recorded concert. The Festival is an opportunity for students with outstanding ability and initiative to receive public recognition, to sing under the direction of nationally recognized choral clinicians, and to perform choral literature of the highest quality. The students had tons of fun working in rehearsals with amazing conductors, attending and performing in wonderful concerts, and even had time for some fun at places like Cheesecake Factory at the Summit, Davenports Pizza Palace in Mountain Brook, Dave and Busters at the Galleria, and a late night cookie party! #wearesaintjamesschool
