About Us
How it all started
This all started with our Director, Cindy Hagman's, vision. She has always wanted a choir to carry on the legacy from her direction at Lincoln High School. After the LHS choir went on a trip to Europe the summer of 2024, the idea of a legacy choir began to grow. That summer a group of alumni joined together to form the Legacy Community Choir as we know it.
