Seventeen Mount Pleasant High School Choir members competed at the Regional UIL Solo and Ensemble Contest at Trinity Baptist Church on Friday, January 31st. Of those, seven MPHS soloists have advanced to the State contest. To qualify for the state solo and ensemble contest, a student must score a “1” (the top score) on a Class 1 solo, the most difficult to memorize and perform.

MPHS state solo qualifiers include Migel Guerrero, Savannah Mack, Sakinah Mason, Rachell Moreno, Cristina Olvera, Abril Ramirez, and Lili Wu.

The state contest will be held the first week of June at the University of Texas at Austin and will involve around 25,000 vocal, band, and orchestra contestants from across Texas. The MPHS Choir is directed by Nancy Vines with accompaniment provided by Deanna Warren.
