EXTRA EXTRA: Region Round 2 Results coming in! Big Jumps in Rankings!

While I will be posting the rankings on Friday for my high school students, the thing that makes me most proud is the tremendous jumps in rankings many of my students had.  It makes me feel good because I know my students work hard, can handle very difficult music with ease, and that I help my students improve.  Just as an example, I have 3 Bass II's who ranked in the top 20 for the first round of judging (16th, 17th, and 20th) .  All three of these students are now in the top 6 (2nd, 5th, and 6th)!  And I had one Bass I go from 30th to 11th!  Similar jumps in rankings occurred for my sopranos and tenors. 

This year I had a record number of students make a Region Choir, and the vast majority of these students will be going on to Pre-Area Auditions.   I am so very proud and happy for all my students who did so well.

So now the process begins again with a very difficult Mozart piece and a Brahms song.  All of which must be learned in a month.  Whew!!
