This past Saturday the choral de-partment took 74 students to Te-cumseh/Shawnee Heights High School for Regional Solo and En-semble. They did an excellent job!

The Judging was tough as they only gave 9 Superior ratings in our en-semble room. We had a lot of freshman taking solos and I was very pleased with their ratings as they all worked extremely hard.

Please congratulate the following students!
