Senior Paige Deffenbacher, known as a “choir lifer” for her eight years dedicated to it, has performed in the concert since freshman year. She adores taking the stage and the uniqueness of it.
“I love the camaraderie of being a part of the concert. The day of the concert is so much fun. The energy is so high and all of the performers are each other’s biggest cheerleaders,” Deffenbacher said. “The atmosphere backstage is so much fun. We all dance around and sing along.”
