The final choir trip for the year of 2005 is finished; thus concludes the Alhambra Choir website created by Krisy Hafford. A new era of Choir has been continued by Alex Cordon and Marvin Soto. Click Here to View. I will miss all of you and I wish you all well in the future. 

 
There is in souls a sympathy with sounds:
And as the mind is pitch'd the ear is pleased
With melting airs, or martial, brisk or grave;
Some chord in unison with what we hear
Is touch'd within us, and the heart replies.
~William Cowper
