They are at every game, all while practicing for their cheerleading competitions coming up in the next month.

Don’t miss out! Kick off your December Christmas festivities with a fun-filled evening of beautiful music, side-splitting comedy, and a delicious dinner. MCHS Choirs invites you to their annual Christmas Madrigal, A Cowboy In King Arthur’s Court. All the swords and armor in Camelot have rusted. It might be an evil enchantment. Or it might just be the weather in England. Merlin has no magic to fix things. Coincidentally, Rusty, a Texas cowboy, got plumb kicked into next week by a wild demon on four legs and wakes up in Camelot. It turns out this cowboy has a few tricks of his own to solve the problem. Enjoy the show with a menu of Wassail, Salad Greens, Smoked Pork Chops, Buttered Green Beans, Dinner Roll, Dessert, Tea and Lemonade.
