What an exciting year of growth it has been for SDCC. Despite the setbacks we’ve faced with Covid, the Choir experienced significant growth this year. Both our Ensemble and Early Years programs experienced record breaking enrollment and we expanded the number of rehearsal locations from 5 to 7 countywide.
