Choirbee of the Week: Rachel Pak!

This week's Choirbee of the Week is Rachel Pak.  Rachel is a Junior, a Soprano, and our former Publicity Manager.  Rachel is always a dedicated and conscientious member of choir, but this week she really shined by staying after rehearsal to get some extra practice on her music by singing with the Tour group, even though she isn't able to join us on our Spring Tour. We appreciate her enthusiasm for music and all her contributions to the group. Let's get to know Rachel!
