Lexington One Students Make SC Honor Choir

Nine students from Lexington One were selected to be a part of the South Carolina Elementary Honor Choir. They performed at the South Carolina Music Educators Convention in February. 

The students selected were:

• Carolina Springs Elementary students Adam Graybill, Kelly Nguyen and Amber Smith
• Lexington Elementary student Laney Quickel
• Lake Murray Elementary students Madeline Owens and London Saunders
• Midway Elementary students BJ Callaham, Jenaiah Callaham and Vanessa Sanderson 

They were selected to perform with the prestigious choir after being nominated by their music teacher and performing an extensive audition that included an echo melodic pattern, harmony and an a cappella piece.

Once accepted into the choir, students began practicing with their music teachers to prepare for the concert at the S.C. Music Educators Convention, held from Feb. 7 to 9.

At the convention, Lexington One students joined with other students from across the state to form the S.C. Honor Choir. Students rehearsed together for more than nine hours and finally performed for music educators attending the convention.

The S.C. Honor Choir promotes choral singing for elementary students in the state, helps improve existing elementary choral programs and also provides professional development for elementary choral music educators.
