12/10/07 (6:36 p.m.) Starr’s Mill High School is proud to
announce that 32 choral students have been chosen to represent Starr’s Mill High
School in the Georgia Music Educators Association (GMEA) All- State Chorus.
Being select to the GMEA All-State Chorus is one of the highest honors for a
high school singer. The first (regional) audition tests a student’s ability to
sing scales, sing an aria with a beautiful tone and appropriate placement and
breath support, demonstrate tonal memory and sight-read music at a high level of
difficulty. If after the first audition the student is accepted into an
All-State Chorus, then the second and final audition is a test of the student’s
knowledge of the music to be performed. The student must sing her/his part of
the assigned All-State repertoire in front of judges and have a 70% or higher
accuracy level. The All-State Chorus will perform in Savannah, Georgia February
21st – 23rd. The Starr’s Mill High School Chorus is under the direction of Dr.
John Odom and Mrs. Julia Lotti. |
