Towards the end of the concert Church announced he would be leaving Overhills High School’s Chorus Department to pursue a career working with younger children to “…keep the arts alive…”. The speech was very moving and emotional several people in attendance and those students preforming were moved to tears at the announcement. The students presented Church with a gift and a sign for his new classroom with all the students’ names signed on the back. The concert ended with an impromptu group hug. That night was truly the most moving concert I have witnessed at Overhills High School.
