They qualified for the national competition by scoring highly at a recent statewide competition .

Tickets are $10 at the door and $8 in advance. For more information, call VGCC Phi Beta Lambda advisor LaTonya Steele at (252) 738-3447 or students Shelonda White at (732) 979-7793 and Virtuous Harris at (252) 425-7308.
