What an incredible weekend with the first annual Showcase of Excellence Show Choir Festival!
All of the preparation and efforts by everyone involved made this event a success! With 19 show choirs from 13 schools across the state of Missouri inhabiting the classrooms and hallways of Platte County High School for the day, everybody did their part for customer service and friendly nature that the Platte County community embodies. Many of the show choirs and their directors and staff have already expressed their compliments and praise, and that is an admirable achievement for this event to receive.
Obviously, this takes a lot of hard-working and dedicated people and businesses to help prepare and run this festival effectively
(hopefully, we can get everybody mentioned in this list - so much to be thankful for already):
THANK YOU to the following businesses for providing food/drink items for concessions:
Sonic
Price Chopper
QuikTrip
Domino’s Pizza
Scott’s Kitchen
