Members of Enumclaw High School concert choir became stars of their own Disney show on Feb. 16, when they entertained resort guests at Waterside Stage at Downtown Disney. The group traveled more than 3,000 miles to the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida to take part in the Disney Performing Arts Program.

The choral, under the direction of Paul Scott and Angela Wentz, entertained hundreds of Downtown Disney guests.

It was the group’s first visit to the resort with the Disney Performing Arts Program.

In addition to their performance, the group participated in the Disney Performing Arts “Disney’s Broadway Magic” workshop, where they performed a number from a Broadway musical and learned about the elements required to bring one together, including music, staging, costuming and props.

Vocal, instrumental and dance ensembles from all around the world apply to perform each year as a part of Disney Performing Arts at both the Disneyland Resort and the Walt Disney World Resort. Once selected, they are given the opportunity to perform at the resort for an international audience of theme park guests. Millions of performers have graced the stages of the Disney Parks in the more than 25-year history of the program.
