Twenty-Seven Students Named to All-State Choir from MPS
MUSKOGEE, Okla. - Twenty-Seven Muskogee Public Schools students have earned All-State honors and will participate in the Oklahoma Music Educators Association (OkMEA) and Oklahoma Choir Directors Association (OkCDA) All-State Choirs to be held virtually in January 2021.
“These students began preparing for state-wide auditions with rehearsals beginning in July,” explained Muskogee High School Choral Director Teresa Pointer.
Students participated in two rounds of auditions to make the final cut for participation in the choirs. Students will now learn additional music, participate in virtual rehearsals, and record virtual choir performances.
Students from Muskogee High School, Muskogee 7th & 8th Grade Academy @ Ben Franklin, Muskogee 6th Grade Academy @ Grant Foreman, and Sadler Arts Academy all earned All-State recognition.
Students are under the direction of Mrs. Dana Lane (6th Grade Academy), Mrs. Jessica van Voast (Sadler Arts Academy), Shalyn Gallaway (7th & 8th Grade Academy), Ms. Chelsea Arnold, and Mrs. Teresa Pointer (Muskogee High School).
Six MPS students earned a spot on the OkMEA All-State Children’s Chorus, seven on the OkCDA All-State Junior High Choirs, and 14 from MHS on the OkMEA High School All-State Choirs.
