The All-State Chorus and Orchestra concert was held this past weekend in Sioux Falls at the Denny Sanford Premier Center. Michael Hanawalt, the Associate Professor of Choral Conduction and Music Education at Florida State University, was the guest conductor of the chorus. The chorus consisted of about 936 high school students from around the state. Our All-State quartet who participated included: Makaylah, Sydney, Noah, and Avery.
SDMEA also hosted the Elementary Honor Choir. This choir included 160 students that were selected through taped auditions. The students, under the direction of Sandy Knudson, created beautiful music throughout the day on Saturday and presented their concert at 3:30 pm. Vanessa & Sadie participated in this event.
