Williamson County Schools choir, band and orchestra students all had a chance to shine this spring.

Several high school choirs competed in the Middle Tennessee Vocal Association (MTVA) Choral Festival February 22-24. At the festival, each group performed three selections and sight-read for a panel of judges. Groups who received a high enough rating will advance to the State festival at the end of April and are marked with an asterisk (*) in the list below:

WCS band and orchestra students participated in the Middle Tennessee Band and Orchestra Association (MTSBOA) Concert Performance Assessment (CPA) throughout March. Each ensemble performed two or three concert selections for adjudication by a panel of judges. Each group’s sight-reading abilities were also evaluated.

In addition to earning superior ratings, the Nolensville High Wind Ensemble and the Franklin High Wind Ensemble received the American School Band Directors Association (ASBDA) Band of Distinction Award, an honor given to only nine high school groups in Middle Tennessee.
