This past Friday and Saturday the GHS Choir brought four students to the
Texas Music Educator's Association All State Choir Auditions in Mesquite.
The students went through a total of three auditions for the all state choir process.
Students learned new music for each contest and sang in English, Italian, Russian,
Latin, and German. These students worked hard all semester. Sophomore Cori Beasley
was awarded 6th chair in the TMEA All State Treble Choir at the end of the day Saturday.
She is among the best high school singers in the state of Texas. This honor is
usually reserved for high school juniors and seniors. It is almost unheard of
for a student as young as Cori to make all state. She will travel with the GISD
Choral Directors to the annual TMEA Convention in San Antonio on February 13th -16th
and rehearse and perform with the other students across Texas who placed in
the all state choirs.
