Five choral students from Elizabethtown Area High School (EAHS) were selected to the highly competitive Pennsylvania Music Educators Association (PMEA) District 7 Chorus. A team of judges comprised of local music teachers chose the vocal students from area high schools to be a part of the ensemble.
Selected to the honors choir from EAHS were Emma Boksan, Adam Evans, Claire Fritz, Ronnie Mautner, and Jake Sevcik. According to EAHS choral director Dana Baxter, the students placed well within their sections and qualified for the Region Festival.
This year's District 7 Festival was held at Central Dauphin High School over three days in mid-January, with a culminating concert on Jan. 17. Dr. Jerry Blackstone, emeritus professor of conducting at the University of Michigan, was the guest conductor. The ensemble consisted of 200 singers chosen through auditions from 75 schools from Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Franklin, Perry, and York counties.
