Mikelle Makes All-District Chorus

Last weekend Mikelle participated in the all-district chorus for Loudoun County schools. She had to audition and was selected to sing in the SSA choir with 90 or so other seventh grade girls. Friday they traveled to Smarts Middle School and rehearsed all day with a guest conductor. Saturday she arrived at Tuscarora High School at 7:45 AM to continue rehearsing. We came to see the concert they presented in the afternoon. Her group sang six songs in all. "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho" was our favorite. The "Swallow" was interesting and "Jaberwoky" was very difficult.

I was impressed with the mature, full sound the conductor was able to get out of this group of young girls. The songs were quite difficult and yet they performed them very well. Mikelle sang second Soprano and did a wonderful job!
