The picture above is the Sophisticats holding trophies at the annual MTVA Choir Festival in Murfreesboro , TN.   They received an Excellent trophy for performance and a Superior trophy for sightreading.

Kudos for a smaller group of the Sophisticats for also winning a Superior Trophy for large ensemble performance at MTVA Solo & Ensemble Festival.  The following students won Superior & Excellent medals in solo and duet performances:

Molly Schaeffer

Bruce Johnson

Denitra Martin

Megan Hatchett

Ambre Dromgoole

Terrance Bowden

We have had a productive and amazing year in the choral department.  I am very proud of our musical growth and increased membership.  We are always looking for new students who are eager to sing and who want to take their musicianship to greater levels.  Please stop by the choral department and talk with Mrs. Smith if you are interested in being a part of this special group of singers representing Hillsboro High School for the coming 2008-2009 academic school year.
