Matt's Choir Competition

This last week Matt participated in his UIL Choir Competition and I volunteered to be one of the parent chaperons.    

It started with practice at the middle school with their choir director Ms. Koppe.  Then we were on to the bus and off to O'Conner High School.

The Men's Choir is made up of 7th and 8th grade students.  They sang three prepared songs, one of which was acapella.  The boys were amazing.  

Then they had a sight reading potion of the competition were they had 6 minutes to learn a song without accompaniment or singing.  Amazing again.  And I wasn't the only one that thought so.  All the judges gave them the highest mark available.  But the big complement of the day was when after the sight reading portion was done the lead judge approached Matt and shook his hand.  He told Matt to continue to be the leader that he was and not let he friends down.  He was the only one that the judge spoke to.
