Athens Middle School seventh and eighth grade choir members show off their medals after competing in the Texas Music Educators Association Region 21 Middle School Solo and Ensemble Contest Friday in Tyler. The students performed solo before a judge, and each of them earned a Division I superior rating.
“I’m so proud of them for challenging themselves, for working diligently to achieve their goals and for representing our choir, our school and Hornet Nation with pride,” said Choir Director Sherrilyn Ewing. “I am also extremely proud that every one of our nine students who committed to the challenge followed through. They all remained eligible and showed up to sing.”
