On Saturday, 11 Clear Creek HS Choir students competed in the TMEA Pre-Area Auditions, the third of four rounds of auditions on the way to the All-State Choir. Singers competed against the Top 15 ranked singers in each voice section, all vying for one of the Top 5 spots so they could advance to the final round. We are excited to announce that 6 of our singers were ranked in the Top 5 and have advanced, and they will represent CCHS at the All-State auditions this year. This audition is particularly challenging because not only do students have to sing 3 prepared classical choral pieces, but they are also required to complete a solo sight reading audition in front of a panel of 5 judges. In this, they are given a piece of music they have never seen before, given 30 seconds to practice it, and then they have to perform with a capella (no piano accompaniment).

Congratulations go out to the following 6 Creek Choir students who will be auditioning for the All-State Choir in January:

Sophomore Travis Falknor – 1^st chair

Junior Zach Hoover – 1^st chair

Senior Jhanvi Patel – 3^rd chair

Junior Justin Pollio – 3^rd chair

Senior Sophia Sledge – 4^th chair

Sophomore Kat Velasco – 3^rd chair

Special shout-outs to the following singers who were named as alternates to the All-State Auditions (which likely means they will not get to audition, but they got oh-so-close):

Freshman Brady Raboin – 6^th chair, First Alternate (that’s right, he’s a freshman and got within one chair of advancing to the state auditions)

Brandon Falknor – 7^th chair, Second Alternate

Ace Velasco – 8^th chair, Third Alternate
