Choraliers head to states The junior/senior high school gathered today to give the Choraliers a big Green Bear spirit tunnel send-off to the state competition. This the Ohio Music Education Association State Contest this weekend at Van Buren High School. To qualify, the choir earned the highest possible rating at the district contest this past March. They will be performing three contest pieces and sight reading a piece of music to demonstrate their skills. Many thanks to Mr. Bob Duris, the groups accompanist. Wishing this group of elite young vocalists and Miss Hoss the best of luck! |
