This fall Varsity Vocals entered into the NBC4 New York and Telemundo 47 Star Choir Holiday Singing Competition. This competition is open to all student choirs in the tri-state area, and involves multiple rounds of video auctions. The winners are invited to perform during the Rockefeller Tree Lighting Ceremony. Although Varsity was not chosen as the winner this year, we are excited to announce that they were one of the top THREE, as finalists for this year's competition out of over 100 entries! As a result they were featured on NBC4 New York and Telemundo 47 on one of days leading up to the lighting, where they played Varsity Vocals' audition tape. Special acknowledgement to student Ronuel Ricafort ('26) who arranged a version of Joy to the World for the audition, Joshua Vasquez ('28) who was a featured soloist, and to Joshua Lowman ('26) for his work as student manager of the group.
