Back in the fall, a multitude (at least a thousand) of high school singers auditioned for their District level KMEA High School Honor Choir. After the district event in December, scores from the same audition were tabulated, and the top singers from all seven districts in Kansas were selected to be in one of the two All-State Honor Choirs. Out of hundreds, roughly 50 soprano 2 singers were chosen from the entire state to fill the spots between both choirs. TMP-M's own Natalie Loftus, senior, was one who was selected for the Mixed Choir! She will go to Wichita at the end of February to spend a weekend rehearsing and then performing with the 2023 KMEA Mixed Honor Choir. This choir is an immense honor, and we are thrilled for Natalie and her hard work paying off! The concert is Saturday, February 25 at 11:30am at Century II in Wichita. Please come support Natalie in her major accomplishment!
