Perhaps Monroe High School Choral Director Cate Windelborn said it best this way. “Overall a great week for the MHS choirs.”

All four school choirs participated in the district choral festival last weekend and two of them – Expressions and Generations of Sound – received excellent ratings and will participate in the State Choral Festival in Holt, April 21.  In fact, Generations received a perfect score in sight reading. 

The Concert Choir and Mixed Chorus earned good ratings and the concert choir received a sight-reading score of 28 out of 30, which is superior.

Three MHS entries also earned top ratings in the State Solo and Ensemble Festival in Howell on the same weekend.  Freshman soloist Madison Miller, the senior duet of Brittnee Avritt and Jenna Bolster and the student-led ensemble Momentum, all received Level 1 ratings, or excellent, at the state level. 

But the choirs won’t be slowing down anytime soon because in the next two months, they have the state choral festival (April 21), a performance trip to New York City (April 27-May 11,) the A Capella Festival (May 6) and the Pops Concert (May 24.)
