Circle the State with Song and Honor Choir Auditions

"Circle the State with Song" and Honor Choir auditions are coming up later this week. Auditions can be done in class, starting 8/30 and 8/31.  We will continue auditions through 9/6.

What is it? An opportunity to join with a select group of  talented and motivated singers in “Area 6” for rehearsals with a special conductor and a performance at 3:00 pm that afternoon.  Each February/March, nearly 5,000 Indiana students participate in Circle the State with Song.

All the information can be found here. We have many talented students in all grade levels!  If your student shows an interested in this wonderful activity, please encourage him/her.
