My Project

Once again this year, the PES Trojan Express Choir is gearing up for another great musical performance! With the success of last year's show, we are attempting an even more challenging show, Disney's Moana Jr!

Our choir students work tirelessly to dance, act, and sing their hearts out.

With your help, we can make our show even better with fabulous costumes to pull everything together! With this one project, we can almost completely outfit our entire cast. The students at PES deserve the best! Please consider helping us sail away to Montonui and put on the best musical yet!
