On a vibrant Choreography Day in Palm Springs, the 72-member "Changels" honor choir assembled at Agua Caliente Elementary School. The choir is made up of students from four pilot Adopt the Arts schools: Agua Caliente, Bubbling Wells, Della Lindley, and Vista del Monte Elementaries.

Under the guidance of Adopt the Arts Founder and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Matt Sorum, along with professional choreographers Jennifer Hamilton and Carly Blaney, the students learned three songs. This preparation is in anticipation of their upcoming school assemblies and community performances.

During the event, Superintendent Dr. Tony Signoret joined the students, participating in their songs and dances.

The Palm Springs Unified School District acknowledges Adopt the Arts for their commitment to providing quality music education resources and curriculum for students.
