just an update on lehman....we competed at the glen este competition this past saturday and i think how improved everything is. we had best choerography, best male soloist, and grand champion in class B. also we beat hamilton high school (class A) to get into finals where we got 5th runner up
we still have some vocal issues...aka people not applying what is taught them, and a lack of a director who has any sort of vocal music background...we will be gettin hardcore about this i believe haha.
any how one last comment on the ada competition: the clinition actually told laura (the soloist in "New Day") that she was overpowering and should have held the mic back a bit, however she did fall flat at the beginning due to nerves(aka lack of support) but all went well at glen este
Correct Corey Rawson was announced 2nd Runner Up....they called it wrong Mayfield is actually 2nd Runner Up...I guess the Emcee overlooked Mayfield and annouced Corey Rawson in error
