Several Richmond Hill Middle and Richmond Hill High School students were recently selected to participate in the Georgia Music Educator’s Association All State Chorus.
RHMS students Marion Jeffers and Mikayla Zopfi and RHHS students Pamela Shwayri, Kaitlynn Hetzel, Michael Kelly, Sarah Barry and Cayman Cardiff performed with other students across the state Feb. 25 at the Johnny Mercer Theater in Savannah.
According to RHHS chorus teacher Jamie Hillen, students selected as a member of the All State Chorus had to make it through two auditions that included a prepared solo, a performance of major, minor and chromatic scales, sight reading, a listening test and a music theory test.
In addition, students also had to learn six choral pieces, mostly on their own, and sing their part by themselves for two judges, Hillen said.
