One of the better news stories from over the weekend with the headline Apex High School chorus travels to Hawaii for Pearl Harbor anniversary On Sunday, Lainie and 70 of her classmates will take part in the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade. They’ll try to keep their emotions in check as aging survivors of the attack return. They will open the ceremonies by singing the national anthem – they’ll be the only group to sing it – and later will be on the USS Missouri, serenading those who come to pay their respects. Heather Copley, the school’s chorus director for 17 years, takes her classes on big trips every four years. Last time it was London, and before that was Italy and Switzerland. For the Pearl Harbor event, Apex will represent North Carolina; one group from each state was selected to perform. She said it’s the kind of trip they’ll remember when they’re 50. It’s also an opportunity for the group – made up of seniors and students from the advanced class – to learn more about history. newsobserver/2014/12/05/4379644/apex-high-school-chorus-travels.html?sp=/99/102/110/#storylink=cpy
