Aptos High School Choir Pops Concert

AHS Performing Arts Center Friday & Saturday May 24-25 at 7:00 p.m.

This is the last concert of the school year, and commemorates the end of Lindsey Eldred’s first full year as the Aptos High School Choir Director. For this production, there will be two performances, May 24 and 25 at 7 p.m. The theme is ‘Going Green,’ using primarily contemporary and pop music. The choirs have worked hard to present a concert capable of showcasing their range of talents. Choir member and senior Jon Sullivan said, “With both fun choral arrangements and solo pieces, we’re looking to put on the best concert yet! This show will be our finale for the year, and a goodbye to our graduating seniors.”

We thank choir members Jon Sullivan, Maddy Dufek, Ana Goena and Tim Bonanno for bringing this concert and the opportunity to see and hear their talents to our attention.
