Clay Aiken performs with Rancho Verde
Rancho Verde High School, Moreno Valley, CA
Chapter 4198
By Kelli Dower, Advisor

The Rancho Verde High School Tri-M Chapter is new, but recently received the opportunity of a lifetime: they provided background vocals for Clay Aiken at the last performance of his Joyful Noise Tour in San Diego, California. “My students worked hard and deserved this opportunity,” says Kelli Dower, Chapter Advisor. Along with students from a sister school in Chula Vista, California, the students sang several Christmas songs from Aiken’s current Christmas album including: “Listen with Your Heart”, “Jesus, Born on This Day”, “Silent Night”, and “Good News”.

The students were selected by the advisor to sing for Mr. Aiken based on their attendance and music grade point average. At the end of the concert, Mr. Aiken thanked and provided each student with a personalized autograph.

Note: the song "Listen with Your Heart", mentioned at the end of the first paragraph, is actually titled "The Music of Christmas" and can be downloaded at ClackUnlimited.com (labeled as TMOC).
