This past Monday evening, three of our choral students were recognized at the WCPS Board of Education Meeting for their participation in the NC All-East Choral Festival that was held this past February at the New Bern Convention Center. These students worked countless hours, learning their music before coming together with other students from across Eastern NC to prepare and perform an outstanding program of music. The students had the opportunity to work with internationally acclaimed composers and conductors, Dr. Matthew Hazzard and Dr. Jonathan Talberg. Pictured from left to right: Kelly Carter, SWHS Principal, D'amyah Allen, Allen Antiquina, Richard Loa Gonzalez, Jason Cox, SWHS Choral Director.
