On March 17, Advanced Women’s Choir, Singers, Chorale and Madrigals participated in the KMEA District 7 Festival Assessment. Festival is one of the most important performances of our year because it is the only time of the year where we are critically evaluated and most importantly are asked to demonstrate music literacy skills. All of our choirs received DISTINGUISHED ratings on their performance and sight-reading.  Read more below for some of the outstanding comments from the adjudicators:

Advanced Women’s Choir - “Great things happening – keep it up.  Keep up the excellent work.” –Terri Foster, Louisville Youth Choir
“Excellent – full vibrant sound in all of your singing.  Energy, attention to phrasing and dynamics, ensemble precision – all were first rate.” – Dr. Barbara Hall, Center College
“Lovely tone, well supported by the breath.  Excellent energy, dynamic contrast.  Great repertoire, stage presence.” -Dr. Richard Waters, EKU

Lafayette Singers 
“Excellent [repertoire and stage presence].  You are on an excellent path – congrats to you all!” – Terri Foster
“Good, solid and focused sound.  Good-solid [technique].” – Dr. Hall
“Good repertoire, [Ave Verum Corpus-W. Byrd] was a challenge, but well worth it” - Dr. Waters

Chorale

“Excellent student leaders.  Excellent Instructor!  Keep up the good work” – Ashley Tyree, sight-singing

Madrigals

“Your students are extremely well disciplined so that they can really make music!  Challenging repertoire very well done.” –Dr. Hall
“Tone, intonation, vowels are all superior!  An engaging performance.” – Dr. Waters
“Excellent music reading!  Long after you have forgotten the songs you are singing, the gift of music reading will stay with you!  You are very fortunate to have such a fine program and such fine teachers!  - Ashley Tyree, sight-singing
