Music Students Represent WHS at District Festival

On Saturday, November 18, five members of the Wakulla High School Vocal Ensemble particpated in Solo/Ensemble Festival at Leon High School.  The festival is an annual Florida Vocal Association Event.  Those who wish to participate must memorize two songs and sing before a judge for a rating and constructive feedback.  It is an extra-curricular activity, requiring students to learn their music independently.  Only classical music can be presented and Wakulla students sang in three different languages:  English, German, and Italian.

Three soloists and a quartet ably represented WHS.  The quartet sang for comments only (no rating), and received favorable and helpful feedback.  This is the first time WHS has entered a small ensemble in the event.  Rhiannon Vinson, a junior who participated for the first time, received an Excellent rating.  Patricia Gordon, a junior and another first-time participant, and Sarah Dix-Martin, a senior, both received Superior ratings for their solo performances.

Wakulla High School has two singing groups:  Chorus, open to all, and Vocal Ensemble, an audition only choir; and is a member of the Florida School Music Association.  The two groups will be presenting their Winter Concert on Tuesday, December 12, at 7:30 p.m. in the WHS Auditorium.  The concert is free-of-charge and open to the public.
