SMS Honor Choir “Superior” at Contest

April 7 Schultz Middle School’s Sixth Grade Honor Choir competed in the Katy Sixth Grade Choral Festival at St. Peter’s United Methodist Church in Katy. The Katy Choral Festival is designed to provide a quality festival for younger choirs and to introduce sixth grade students to the feel of UIL Music Contests. Choirs are given the option of presenting two or three memorized songs to three judges. The judges then rate the choir’s overall concert performance on a number scale, “1” being superior and the highest possible score and “5” being poor and the lowest score.
     The Schultz Honor Choir presented “Song of the Open Road” by Ruth Elaine Schram and “Chatter With the Angels” arranged by Anna Laura Page; the choir was accompanied on the piano by Ms. Paula Chatman. We were given one Division “1” rating and two Division “2” ratings; therefore, earning an overall Excellent rating. The judges praised the choir’s singing, and complimented their excellent behavior and focus during the concert. The students were very excited when they received a trophy honoring their success.
     “The choir students worked very hard toward this competition and I couldn’t be more proud,” Director Megan Arnold said.
     The SMS Sixth Grade Honor Choir is made up of Natalie Boone, Michael Bradley, Sarah Burton, Irene Cardenas, Dai’jah Carter, Abigail Costea, Meagan Day, Mirna Delgado, Dartangnan Deweese, Bethany Disotelle, Brittany Franz, David Gonzalez, Simeon Harvey, Ariel Herrera, Peyton Irvan, Madison Jackson, Bridget Killebrew, Savannah Kitzman, Reagan Koen, Melanie Lyon, Kirsten Miador, Taylor Navegar, Cobey Rodríguez, Rosie Sanchez, Megan Solet, and Shelby Yost.
