Carroll Middle School choir dominated All-Region this year with 24 of its musicians making the final cut.
According to MySouthlakeNews.com, the audition process was different for CMS students this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While in previous years students performed their auditions live in front of their judges, this year saw them submit recorded performances to TMEA.
Despite the alternative format, 24 CMS musicians made it to the All-Region choir. Those singers include concert trebles Nikhita Nannapaneni, Abigail Foster, Malaika Nair, Penelope Gerrick and Yana Pinjani; tenor basses Jackson Campbell, Michael Vu, Abhinav Ette, Boluwatife Onanuga, Diell and Dilon Kaba; and honor trebles Danielle Nef, Kaila Braden, Lucy Smith, Aymen Khurram, Marlee Fraser, Ishani Gandi, Katie Scruggs, Isha Poneth, Sophia Hybarger, Shriya Avirneni, Riya Satani, Sindhu Venigalla and Julia Da Silva.
“We are extremely proud of all our choir students and each and every student who auditioned for region,” CMS choir director Stacia Graves says. “Our students have faced additional challenges this year, but through it all they have shown courage and commitment to excellence.”
