The Apex High Chorus will be performing at the Pearl Harbor Memorial in Hawaii during December 4-8.The chorus was selected over many other high school choirs. The chorus auditioned with a song from the 2014 Spring Concert, and was chosen to sing for the anniversary at the USS Arizona Memorial. The award winning choir, led by director Heather Copley, has performed around the world, including in London, Rome, and the Bahamas.

Along with fundraising, students had to pay a fee to participate. Once there, the chorus will spend their time singing for the memorial, which includes opening the parade with the national anthem. With a great opportunity like this, a trip to Laniakea (Turtle) Beach, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and a pineapple plantation are a given.
