Students in choir recently participated in All-State Choir Pre-Area auditions on Saturday, Sept. 13. The event took place at Summer Creek High School. Choir members were required to learn four pieces of music for their audition.
Fifteen students advanced with five earning chairs. “First chair,” for example, is the most advanced performer, and it goes down by skill or position. Junior Madelyn Haynes earned first chair and senior Amara Amadi earned second chair.
“This will be my fourth year participating in region choir,” Amadi said, “and it’s always my favorite part of the year. I look forward to it the most because I love learning about new music, composers, languages and cultures. The worst part is the pressure and anxiety that comes with it, but when the audition is over and the results come out, it is an extremely rewarding experience.”
