Madrigal Singers to sing at ACDA Southern Division

2/14/2018

 
The Lafayette Madrigal Singers have been chosen to perform a featured concert at the bi-annual conference for the Southern Division of American Choral Directors Association in February 2018 in Louisville.

It is a tremendous honor to be selected to perform for this region's choral professionals. This is a very selective invitation and was made possible by audition tape based upon three previous years’ performance recordings. We are very proud of this accomplishment and the alumni whose outstanding past work made this invitation possible.  
 
Lafayette Madrigal Singers were selected as one of five high school choirs.  Only 19 choirs were selected from among 90 applicant choirs.  We are one of only four high school choirs in Kentucky to have ever performed at a national or divisional ACDA convention and we are one of only two Kentucky high schools to have been invited twice.  For high school, college and even professional choirs, an ACDA performance is one of the highest honors a choir can receive. There were only nineteen performing choirs selected of which, five are high school choirs. To be recognized and awarded a performance slot is greater than winning a state-level contest.
 
ACDA Southern Division is the largest of divisions and includes: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. http://acdasouthern.org/conference-2018/performing-choirs-2/

​The Madrigal Singers are state, nationally, and internationally recognized. Lafayette Madrigals are an advanced chamber group made up of mostly juniors and seniors.  The choir last performed for ACDA in 2010 in Memphis. The group performed for the KMEA conference in 2009 and 2015, and was awarded two silver medals at the World Choir Games in Cincinnati in 2012. The choir won a gold diploma and the mixed youth choir category in the Sing ‘N’ Joy International competition in Louisville in 2014. The choir competes annually in the University of Louisville Chamber Choir Competition and have won first place ten times since 2004.

All-Staters appear on Fox News

2/14/2018

 
On Sunday, February 11, Fox News morning show, Fox and Friends, contacted KMEA who referred them to several Lexington choir directors.  Through the weekend, Fox and Friends had been airing the the viral video of KMEA All-Staters singing the National Anthem at the Hyatt.  They wanted to do a follow up location shoot with Kentucky all-state singers.  All-Staters from Lafayette, Tates Creek, Scott County, East Jessamine, Bryan Station and Lexington Christian Academy gathered in Lafayette Beeler Auditorium on Monday morning for a remote segment.  The news station sent a satellite truck and camera crew to film the students.  

Lafayette student Abby Holthaus, and Scott County Choir Director, Brent Merritt were interviewed about their experience at All-State.
