Kearney, Mo., October 30, 2024: Ten Kearney High School Choir members earned All-State honors during auditions on Saturday, Oct. 26.
KHS sent 16 juniors and seniors to the event, according to Director Dustin McKinney. They earned honors by learning parts to a challenging piece of music and then performing as part of a quartet.
They are scored by three judges, and then that score is stacked with their District Audition which scored a vocal solo and sight-reading in September. Honorable Mentions are top 10 scores, Alternates are top 6 scores, and All-State are top 4.
In addition, Jules Ford was one of three students who earned top sight-reading scores and were invited to the state-level sight-reading competition, which is even harder than the all-state process.
