2019 Region 21 Competition

The 2019 Region 21 Competition was held on April 6th at the beautiful Orpheum Theatre in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. The Inland Empire Chorus performed "I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together" from the Carol Burnett Show as well as a parody of "I Can't Give You Anything But Love & Steppin Out With My Baby Medley".
