On March 2 the Vian High School Competitive Choral Ensemble traveled to Tahlequah for the yearly OSSAA district group and solo contest. The Vian High School Choir received 13 medals in total.
The competitive group received eight medals. The competitive group consists of Zayley Cheater, Rayken Massey, Eva Lee, Anthony Ruda, Katie Moore, Raylee Fry, Alyssa Lee and Maya Silos.
Soloists Zayley Cheater, Rayken Massey, Katie Moore, Eva Lee and Rayden Fry all received medals as well for top superior ratings. Soloists Raylee Fry and Maya Silos received excellent ratings and certificates.
In April, the competitive ensemble and soloists that received superiors will travel to Oklahoma City to compete again at their yearly OSSAA state competition.
In order for students to compete at state level they must receive top superior ratings at district level.
“It’s been a great year of competition and growth. The kids are doing well and are dedicated, and rehearse countless hours to prepare not only at school, after school, and home on their own time. They attend camp in summer and practice year round in order to be ready for competitions,” Christina Herriman, choir director, said.
A free spring concert will be held at 7 p.m. on May 9 at the high school cafetorium. Everyone is welcome to attend. Mark your calendar to support these talented students.
