Bellaire Choir Excels at Showcase and UIL
Congratulations to Bellaire High School Madrigals who competed two weekends ago at the Director's Choice Showcase of Music in San Antonio. Madrigal competed against choirs from across the state of Texas, and came home with the following awards:
- Superior Individual Rating
- Outstanding in Class (Chamber Choir)
- Overall Outstanding
Additionally, two members of Madrigal, Nasir Starks and Chris Parrack, earned 'Soloist of Distinction' awards.
Congratulations also to Bellaire Choir's Cantamus, Belle Ensemble and Belle Voci on earning a sweepstakes rating at UIL Concert & Sightreading this past Wednesday. These students performed a set of three challenging pieces of music and sightread a piece of music never seen before for a panel of three judges in each category. All six judges awarded these students a division 1 (superior) rating!
Please be sure to congratulate these students and choir directors Ms. Solberg and Mr. Weldon when you see them around campus! We are #CardinalProud
