A group of Marble Falls High school choir students will be living “la dolce vita” when they travel to Italy during Spring Break next year to perform.
The Marble Falls Independent School District Board of Trustees approved the choir trip during their regular monthly meeting Monday, Oct. 17.
Marble Falls High School Choir Director Bryce Gage said he will be taking about 35 to 40 students to Italy next March with a total group of about 50 people, including directors and chaperones. The choir will visit Venice, Florence, Siena and Rome and is expected to perform in many of the country's most beautiful cathedrals and churches.
“We are waiting on confirmations of locations of concerts, but we hope to perform the daily Mass at St. Peter's (Basilica) in the Vatican,” Gage said.
