Ashley Dunmire The infamous coronavirus has taken away many things from students all across the nation. From graduations and proms to sport seasons, many students are left feeling hopeless. However, students in our choral program are feeling hopeful. Every year our school district sends a select number of students to PMEA District Three Chorus. Here the students audition to attend PMEA Region Two Chorus. The next step after that is All-State Chorus. This year there are no festivals due to Covid-19. However, students still have the opportunity to audition and advance to the next level. Because the auditions were all virtual this year, our school was able to send a few more students than usual. The students that had the opportunity to attend District Three Chorus this year were Daniel Dunmire (11th grade), Kate Myers (11th grade), Emily Bonja (11th grade), Greg Klingensmith (11th grade), Tracy Weng (12th grade), and Ashley Dunmire (12th grade).
Even with a tougher competition and the abnormal scenario, all of our students moved onto Region Two Chorus. To move onto Regions, the student has to chair in the top ten. Daniel (Bass I) chaired 3rd, Tracy (Alto I) chaired 5th, Ashley (Tenor I) chaired 5th, Emily (Tenor I) chaired 6th, Greg (Tenor I) chaired 7th, and Kate Myers (Soprano II) chaired 1st! The students now have the opportunity to audition for All-State Chorus. Although things are not completely normal, there are still events that are keeping our spirits alive!
