Artist of the Week - Hunter McNeal
“Choir brings me so much joy and I love everything about it. I have been making music for most of my life and I love expressing my feelings by putting emotion into my singing. I love how you have to practice hard to get better every single day. I wish other students knew that choir is not hard and anyone can do it! More students should join,” says Hunter McNeal. 

Hunter McNeal has been in choir since 5th grade. He loves to sing in choir, practice his piano and trumpet skills, and perform in musical theater productions. Hunter plans on majoring in music in college, so music will always be a large part of his life, states Blake Richter, Choir Director at Nixa Junior High.
