The Payson Jr. High Choir, under the direction of Mrs. Bolz, traveled to Park View to tickle our fancy with their singing.  Several of the choir memebers came from our very own Park View and pleased us with solos.  The program began with Mariah Webber singing the National Antham.  The 7th Grade Choir sang an African Song called Sing and Dance.  A young man played the bongo drums as accompaniment.  "Dance while the music sings to you."  They also sang Gallop and I am the Voice of America.
