“It felt great to get first place. I also met many unique individuals in the competition. I didn’t mind the money either.” Junior Henry Sun said.
The song the High school students sang was “The Ocean, my Hometown”. It expresses the deep love a son feels to his mother. Junior High students sang Where is Spring, which is about the natural beauty of the world.
“From the tryouts to the finals, we improved greatly. It was a really fun experience to see other people sing chinese songs,” sophomore Chris Seger said.
