Seven Mount Pleasant Junior High School choir students have earned places in the Junior High All-Region Choir. Auditions were held at Sulphur Springs Middle School on Saturday, October 26. To earn a place in the choir, each singer had to learn three selections and sing parts of each in a blind audition.

Those selected include eighth graders Sidney Beles (Soprano 1), Hope Powell (Alto), Lorena Ponce (Alto) and Peyton Quaid (Tenor). Seventh grade choir members selected were Jeffery Bond (Soprano 1), Linzy Walker (Soprano 2), and Angel Garcia (Tenor). Powell earned 1st chair honors, meaning the judges deemed her the best overall Alto they heard that day.

“I couldn’t be prouder of the choir students at MPJH,” said Junior High Choir Director, Joshua Miles. “Their hard work, dedication, and efforts at after-school rehearsals have paid off. I can’t wait to see everything else they accomplish this year…and the years to come.”

The students will participate in the All-Region Choir clinic on Saturday, November 9th at Mount Pleasant High School and will perform in the concert that evening at 5:00 p.m. in the High School auditorium.
