Twenty-two Boonville students performed with the Missouri Youth Honor Choirs sponsored by the Missouri Choral Directors Association on July 20 in Jefferson City.
These students under the instruction of Esther Enderle competed for a place in the 120 member choirs by preparing individual recorded audition tapes which included vocalizing, a cappella singing, and a prepared solo.
The recordings were submitted to a panel of judges, and the students selected met in Jefferson City to rehearse together with nationally-known directors. The students then presented concerts for the opening day of the choral directors’ summer convention.
Choral director for the 7 - 8 grades Missouri Youth Honor Choir was Connie Drosakis.
Ms. Drosakis, a product of the Palm Beach County Schools, taught for 14 years at Christa McAuliffe Middle School and is currently in her eleventh year as choral director at Bak Middle School of the Arts.
