Each year, Lafayette Choir has an outstanding class of seniors who have led the choir to success. The directors and underclassmen have had the great privilege of working with this outstanding class of seniors over the past four years. The class of 2016 is a tremendously talented class. Our choir seniors have been outstanding leaders; they have pushed and encouraged each other they are great as individuals and, at the same time, made a great team. As always, it was very difficult for us to choose our winners among so many outstanding seniors.
