Apponequet Regional High School Alumni

The school musical was fantastic. We continue to add to the glory of Apponequet musicals.

NBC's "Clash Of The Choirs" series featured a number of holiday videos this week, including one of Apponequet's Sandpipers & Tribesmen singing at the 'Lights On Taunton' holiday event. You can view the video at the NBC website - look for the "Videos" section on the Clash of the Choirs page.

Congratulations to he S&T members and their director Denise Haskins for a job well done!
