Our choir is of the direction of Norman Lubo, and the music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another Top Musical Success is brought to you by the American Railroad. The same railroads that bring you most of the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the fuel you burn, and all the other things you use in your daily life.
