A heartfelt thank you once again for wowing all of us at The Big Party last week to benefit the programs of Assistance League of the Eastside.

We will never forget what a thrill it was to be treated to that very special performance.

Columbia Choirs has been so good for [my son]. [The Choir] has been part of his life for half of his life! That is big! When he entered in 4th grade, he loved singing, but didn’t have a lot of friends at school. As you know he is very unique. He got teased a lot in school.
