Performing Arts
students head to NATS competition
|
Eight Carrollton High School vocalists will be the first in school history to compete in the Southeast Region NATS competition, to be held Nov. 5-7 at Georgia Southern University.
The students are Chasity Luke, Ally Murrah, Blair Lipham, Caroline Baldwin, Brianna Odom, Becca Davis, Sophia Miller and Rachel Skinner.
The National Association of Teachers of Singing has been hosting regional competitions at the collegiate level for years, but just in the past few years has added a high school component, said Julie Lowry, choral/voice teacher at CHS.
"I'm really excited to take our students to this level of competition," said Lowry. "This is a top event that offers a lot of exposure."
Each student will perform three songs in either the classical or musical theatre genre. Terri Fazio, also with CHS Performing Arts, will accompany the students on the piano at the competition, a plus, says Lowry, in that the students have been able to practice their entire repertoire with her over the past several weeks.
Lowry is very familiar with NATS on three levels: One, as a college instructor preparing students for competition; two, as a judge; and three, as a college student performer who had been successful herself in NATS competitions.
"Many colleges will be represented at regional NATS," said Lowry. "This will be a great recruitment opportunity for our students. They are well prepared and I expect them to do well and be noticed."

PLC CORNER
Career Capstone project includes shadowing experience
|
To promote career readiness, seniors at the Performance Learning Center are encouraged to do a Career Capstone project about a career they are interested in.
The capstone project involves researching a career, participating in a job shadowing experience, and developing an informational presentation about the chosen career. Each semester, these presentations are shared with a panel consisting of business community members, PLC students and staff members.
Tamoriea Walker was our first student to complete her job shadowing experience. She chose cosmetology because she plans to pursue a cosmetology diploma at West Georgia Technical College when she finishes high school. She shadowed cosmetologist, Candi Gambele, at CD&T Anointed Design, where she received some hands-on experience.
Congratulations, Tamoriea, for successfully completing this part of your capstone project!
