Hawks exec praises CCHS choir

Cordele Dispatch

Cordele — In the following letter sent to CCHS Choir Director Susan Beck by Kelsey Pinney

Executive - Group Sales & Service for the Atlanta Hawks & Philips Arena, she praises the group's recent performance at an Atlanta Hawk's game in Atlanta.

Susan,

I wanted to congratulate you and your AMAZING choir at Crisp County High School on a SPECTACULAR performance at our Atlanta Hawks v. Boston Celtics home game Saturday, Jan. 5. 

It was truly a pleasure to host your group out here at Philips Arena to sing the national anthem, and what better game than in front of a sold out crowd of over 19,000 people in attendance!

On behalf of our Atlanta Hawks and Philips Arena organization, we would like to thank you for your participation, as well as your continued support of the Atlanta Hawks.  We look forward to seeing you all back out here next season.

Best Regards and GO HAWKS!

Kelsey Pinney

Executive - Group Sales & Service
