2019 – Music Festivals

Great first day of UIL with Cantare, Bellator, and Innova. Sweepstakes for all choirs!!! ...

notice the difference in these two photos?

they’ve changed.

sure, they’re in formal uniforms, with small little orange flowers, the little detail added by one of the junior boys.

the real changes were so visible, subtly and slowly. after the first rehearsals with the respective all state ensembles, you could see in their countenance how the experience was yielding personal musical growth. after each rehearsal, their confidence grew, and the experiences affirmed the work that led them to San Antonio.

watching each of them in final rehearsals in the ballroom was a highlight - each of them glowing from the experience, and the music truly changed them.

following the concerts, each of them raced to make it to the following concerts, supporting one another, laughing, celebrating - the exact community that changes those around them.

mixed choir clinician, Michael Barrett, spoke about how the experience changed him, and spoke so eloquently about how music and musicians change the world.

they’ve changed. personally, emotionally, musically.

and their experiences provide a reminder: all should look at the privilege and opportunity to participate in making music - we make music together, performer, conductor, and audience.

be the change. ...

Congratulations to our 11 AREA CANDIDATES who killed it yesterday at the all-state auditions!! We are so proud of all of you for your incredible work effort, passion, and talent throughout this rigorous process.
