Rutherford County Schools
Rutherford County Schools was well represented at the recent auditions for the Mid-State Honor Choirs.
Over 1,400 students from across the Mid-State area auditioned for the coveted 540 spots in five Honor Choirs. Students from Rutherford County Schools earned 125 of those 540 spots, more than any other Middle Tennessee school district.
“Nearly one out of every four students at the Mid-State Performances (were) from Rutherford County,” said fine arts coordinator Lindsay Halford. “Not only will they create life-long memories by performing at such a high level, but placement in the Mid-State Choirs puts them in a great position to compete for college music scholarships and other post-secondary opportunities in music.”
Freshmen students were eligible for the Mid-State Freshmen Honor Choirs.
Students in grades 10–12 were eligible for the Mid-State Choirs and, if placed in the top 14 to 18 on their voice part, the All-State Choirs.
The Mid-State Choir and Freshman Honors Performances were held Nov. 13 at Christ Church in Nashville. All-State Choir events will be at the Tennessee Music Educators Association’s annual conference at Gaylord Opryland in Nashville from April 10–13.
