There was a palpable sense of gratification in the air as the Sterling Significant School Reunion Choir sang the final notes of its nearer, “Not to Say Goodbye.”
The Sterling alumni had been collected in honor of (and to be directed by) previous choir director Tim Vaughn, whose time at Sterling lasted from 1989 to 2009. The live performance, which took place final Saturday, Aug. 13 at Goose Creek Memorial Higher College, featured a return to conducting for Vaughn and an option for former college students to re-engage with the software and traditions they grew to like in their youth.
