Chatham High School Choir Performs At The White House

CHATHAM, NJ — Chatham High School's Chamber Choir and Voices were on full display last week at the White House in the nation’s capital.

According to the school district, the choirs received an invitation, and Chatham High School Chorus teacher Ken Bryson accepted the invitation and organized the trip.

The students performed in the East Wing of the White House on Dec. 8.

Each choir was allowed to sing around 20 songs in 45 minutes. Prior to the performance, the 56 students were allowed to tour the White House to see the holiday decorations, as well as take a tour of many D.C. monuments.

“Our performance at the White House was an absolutely unbelievable experience from beginning to end. To be in the White House representing Chatham was an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime honor. The work of our two choirs, the Chamber Choir and Chatham Voices, was exceptional. I could not be prouder of them and the moment we got to share together,” Bryson said.

"The students' performances were just outstanding," Chatham High Principal Douglas Walker said at the Dec. 11 Board of Education meeting.
