ALL-STATE CHOIR: Blake Jennings

Congratulations are extended to our Choir student who has achieved State status:  Blake Jennings, Jr., Texas All-State Mixed Choir 2011.

He auditioned at the final competition this past Saturday, Jan. 8, 2011,  at TAMU-Commerce for a spot in the All-State Choir 2011.  Blake competed against a really tough vocal section, and was selected to the top Choir in the State, the Texas All-State Mixed Choir.

There were several thousand Texan vocalists that began this process back in August of 2010, and several competition levels later, there are only 224 All-State Mixed Choir members!  And our very own Blake Jennings earned this prestigious accomplishment.

This is not the first time that Blake has made an All-State Choir; he competed last year, and was chosen into the top group then, as well, making him a now 2-yr member of the All-State Mixed Choir.

We don’t want to brag too much, but when this sort of thing happens, it is worth bragging about!

Blake will be performing at the Texas Music Educator’s Association Convention in the San Antonio, Tx. Convention Center Ballroom A on Saturday, February 12, 2011 at Noon.  We invite any of his friends, and family to join us in attending his concert.  Come help us celebrate his success!

All Region Chorale 2010 Highlights

“On Saturday, Oct. 30th, 2010 we had 3 of our High School Choir members that auditioned against over 200 other choir students within our Region 4, for a spot in the Region High School Chorale. All 3 girls were selected and ranked high within their voice sections. We congratulate Caitlyn Childress, Katie Garrett, and
Bailee Moulton for their outstanding accomplishment.

Their HS Chorale will be performing on the same concert program with all of our other Region Choir members that have previously been selected as part of our entire Region 4 All-Region Choirs. This concert will be performed, free of charge, on Saturday, November 6, 2010 at the Mt. Pleasant High School Auditorium beginning at 5 pm. We invite all to come and support your friends and fellow classmates, as they perform with both Middle School and High School choir students from all over our Region 4.
