The Girls Glee Club is the title given to the Girls Chorus of Campbell County High School. Mr. C.R. Waterman, our band instructor, founded this organization six years ago. Since then it has made steady progress and improvement. This club was organized for the benefit for those girls who wish to participate since it encourages girls who already have voices to exercise their voice to become better singers. The organization is not just for the ones who can sing, but for anyone that wishes to join. You don’t have to have a great voice to be able to sing with the Girls Glee Club. From this large organization which consist of approximately 35, a smaller group has been organized. The Girls Sextette. This group consists of six of the girls from the chorus whose voices are considered to blend.
