Middle school and high school choral students were hard at work perfecting their craft this school year both in-person and virtually in preparation for the virtual Region 24 UIL Concert and Sight-Reading Competition.

Each choir prepared and submitted three pieces from memory and sight-read a piece of music they had never seen before. Three adjudicators rated the choirs on both their stage performance as well as their sight-reading with scores ranging from one to five, with one being the Superior Rating. Choirs earning a one rating in both Concert and Sight-Reading received a Sweepstakes recognition for their accomplishment.

The Concert and Sight-Reading Competition is not about how one choir competes versus another, instead it’s about how far each chorus has grown and what they can achieve together. In fact, several campuses took the opportunity to collaborate with nearby choral programs, with resounding success.

Congratulations to all of these Sweepstakes choirs and their directors who earned a Superior Rating in both Concert and Sight-Reading. We look forward to your future achievements!
