On Saturday at Shadow Creek HS, 20 choir students competed in the TMEA Pre-Area Auditions, the third of four rounds of auditions to the All-State Choir. Nine of our students advanced past this round and will audition for the All-State Choir in January, and 3 more were selected as alternates. Even though we are one of 15+ high schools in TMEA Region 17, our students took almost ¼ of the available spots, the most of any school in the region. We are thrilled that our students demonstrated such high level solo musical skills in such a high pressured situation and were awarded for their hard work.

Three students ranked 7^th chair in the region in their respective voice parts and were named second alternates: Soprano 1 freshman (FRESHMAN!!!) Madigan Ewing, Alto 2 junior Hailey Clough, and Bass 1 junior Brandon Falknor. While there is virtually no chance they will end up being called up to the next audition, this is an impressive ranking, and all three will have a chance next year to try again and rank higher.

Congratulations to the following 9 students who are Clear Creek Choir’s Area Candidates and have advanced to the final round of TMEA Auditions:

Skyla Sonnenburg (junior) – 5^th chair Soprano 1

Kat Velasco (junior) – 2^nd chair Soprano 2

Miranda Hixson (junior) – 4^th chair Soprano 2

Sophia Sereni (sophomore) – 3^rd chair Alto 1

Mia Carter (senior) – 5^th chair Alto 2

Jason Keyzer (senior) – 2^nd chair Tenor 1

Justin Pollio (senior) – 1^st chair Tenor 2

Zach Hoover (senior) – 1^st chair Bass 1

Brady Raboin (sophomore) – 2^nd chair Bass 2
