The Monroe High School Generations of Sound and Expressions earned excellent – Division 1 – ratings in the recent Michigan School Vocal Music Association District 12 Choral Festival at Lincoln High School, and have qualified to participate in the state choral festival in Mount Pleasant in May.

     “Generations, Expressions and the Monroe High School Concert Choir all received excellent ratings – 1s – in the performance category before the judges,” said Monroe High School vocal director Cate Windelborn said.  “We are extremely proud of all three groups.  The performances were right on.”

     In sight reading, Generations of Sound earned a perfect rating.  The MHS Concert Choir earned an overall Good rating – Division 2 – when all phases of competition, including sight reading, were figured in. 

     Members of all three groups now prepare to participate in the Monroe Public Schools Vocal Arts Day on Tuesday, May 31, when all 500 children enrolled in the vocal arts program throughout the district will work all day with two Broadway stars and then present a musical show at night to a sold-out crowd in the Monroe High School auditorium.
