Another great audition day!

I had several more prospective students audition today and heard some really wonderful talent! Another All-State tenor from Dyersburg came -- he's already coming here on full-tuition academic, since his ACT is in the stratosphere. I also heard a transfer soprano from Dyersburg State who has one of the best soprano voices I've had audition here.

You veterans may remember going to Wilson Central HS on tour last year. Their director, Joe Bullock, came to our TMEA clinic last week, and today he came over and brought an All-State bass to audition, as well as his own daughter. (Three cheers to the Lambuth Singers -- you guys really impressed him at the clinic!) She's a great mezzo and is going to Austin Peay right now but is interested in coming here to focus on choral conducting and composing. Another nice All-West alto from White Station HS came as well.

We have a HUGE influx of men in the fall and a lot of good female voices as well. Our numbers should be up around 60 in the Concert Choir, if all of them come. Woohoo!!!
