The choir fall fundraiser kicked off last week and members must turn in orders with payment by Monday.
The fundraiser usually goes to the choir trip every two years. This year, it will go toward state solo and ensemble at the end of the year. The seniors’ money, however, will go to the trip to the state basketball tournament where the seniors will be singing the national anthem.
Twenty-six students will go to the high school all-region tryouts on Oct. 1 at Odessa Permian. Mason Griffin said his goal is to make it to the top three chairs at region. Senior Matraca Penner, who has made the all-region choir the past three years, said she hopes to make all-state choir because “I want to go out with a bang.”
Seventeen freshmen will be going to Abell Junior High in Midland to try out for the junior high all-region choir on Oct. 15.
