Sanford High School had an impressive showing at the Maine Music Educators Association District Honors Festival at Noble High School last weekend, with 19 talented students selected to perform in the prestigious event.
The District Honors Festival brings together top musicians from schools across the region for an intensive rehearsal and performance experience. Students are chosen through a competitive audition process based on their musical ability and dedication.
Sanford was well-represented in both the Mixed Chorus and Treble Chorus ensembles. In the Mixed Chorus, seven students showcased their vocal talents: soprano Claire Davie, tenors Braeden Landry and Jack Van Gieson, and bass section members Logan Hamblin, Keaghan Gagnon, Ryan Kane, and Josiah Thoms.
The Treble Chorus featured twelve Sanford students, including sopranos Kai Hamblin, Morgan Bailey, Callia Curtis, Ava Fagan, Meredith Schoenherr, and Ariana Young. Alto voices were represented by Rebecca Horton, Jordyn Martin, Cynthia Carroll, Avila Cyr, and Loretta Sanfason.
Students participating in the District Honors Festival spent the weekend rehearsing challenging repertoire under the direction of guest conductors before presenting a final concert. This experience not only recognizes their individual accomplishments but also provides valuable opportunities to work with talented peers from other schools and learn from accomplished music educators.
Congratulations to all the Sanford High School students who represented their school and community at this year's District Honors Festival.
