Members of the choir who qualified for the area competition competed at Stephen F. Austin on Saturday. Five members earned a spot in the TMEA All-State Choir and will participate in the All-State convention.

“I am proud of the students in this program,” choir director Kerry Baham said. “This is a great accomplishment, and I cannot wait to see the future of these singers.”

Seniors Sara Wood and Adrian Martinez, sophomores Elijah McGuire and Zia Pitts, and freshman Aalivia Stroud placed and earned a spot in the All-State Choir. The choir members set a record with the most All-State singers from any school in Region 7.

“This is my second year being in the All-State choir,” McGuire said. “It’s been my goal to repeat this accomplishment, and I’m excited to have this opportunity again.”

Stroud was the first freshman girl 98u9i9to earn a spot in the All-State choir. The choir is also the only school in TMEA East Area to have an All-State singer in each voice part including soprano, tenor, bass, and alto.

“I’m very proud of myself because I have been working on this since summer,” Stroud said. “This has been my goal for a while to be in the school’s history.”
