Four choir members advance as 13 make all-region choir

Four choir members qualified for the next step in the all-state audition by making first or second chair at the Texas Music Educator Association’s All-Region Choir auditions in Snyder on Oct. 4. They include senior Sawyer Jenkins as first chair bass I, senior Arin Hindman as first chair Alto II, junior Bryce Darby as second chair Soprano II, junior Blayne Childers as second chair Tenor II. They will try out for the area audition on Jan. 10 at Abilene Cooper High School.

With TMEA’s new small school choir division, only two  small school performers move on to the next level and only four performers are eligible for the all-region choir.

Other SHS choir members making the all-region mixed choir include senior Tammy Tran (third chair Soprano I), sophomore Alex Hindman (third chair Tenor I), sophomore Gabe Roybal (fourth chair Tenor I), sophomore Morgan Davidson (fourth chair Tenor II), senior Nathan Shortes (fourth chair Bass II).

Additional females made the treble choir including senior Sierra Talamantes (second chair Alto I), junior Jasmine Ochoa (seventh chair Soprano I), sophomore Debbie Froese (ninth chair Soprano I), and sophomore Kaily Murphy (10th chair Soprano II).
