Song Contest

Held each year at the historic Altria Theater, Song Contest is a beloved musical tradition and the highlight of the Saint Gertrude school year. Over 3,000 community members come together to celebrate this unforgettable night of music, class spirit, and performance.

 

Each class, represented by their class colors, presents a set of familiar tunes with original lyrics, performing alongside the Saint Gertrude alma mater. A panel of three expert judges—including a Saint Gertrude alumna—selects first and second place based on music, lyrics, spirit, leadership, and participation.

 

In the weeks leading up to Song Contest, the halls burst with class colors, themed decorations, and nonstop rehearsals. More than a performance, Song Contest is where the leadership that defines a Saint Gertrude education flourishes, and where sisterhood creates memories that last a lifetime.
