On Saturday, Lawson Choir had a great day at the Northwest High School All-District Choir Clinic held at Platte County High School. They spent seven hours rehearsing a variety of challenging literature. During the morning hours, all juniors and seniors also had the opportunity to audition for All-State Choir. This process involves singing their assigned vocal part while a recording plays the three missing parts for a panel of judges. Only four students and two alternates are selected from each voice part to be a part of the All-State Choir.
For the first time since 2013, Lawson had the privilege of having not one, but two students join the ranks. Ava Briegel was selected as All-State Honorable Mention in the Soprano section and Cade Shafer was selected as an All-State Member in the Tenor section. Congratulations!
We are so proud of all our students who participated in the All-District Choir Clinic! #LawsonGoCards
