Davies Choral Program Honored by State of North Dakota

The renowned Vivace group has yet another honor to add to their growing collection.

FARGO, N.D. – Raise your voices in song for a local high school choir, as they’ve been recognized with an honor on the state level.

The Davies High School Vivace group of Fargo has been selected as the Governor’s official state choral program for the 2025-26 school year.

They were honored alongside the St. Mary’s Central High School Wind Orchestra of Bismack, which was named the governor’s state band for that same school year.

The Davies High School Vivace choir is directed by Carly Grandner McDougall and features 24 students in grades 10-12 – and they have a strong tradition of high achievement.

The Governor’s Band and Chorus were selected from applications submitted by school and civic groups from across the state.

They may be invited to perform at official state functions throughout the year.
