To go along with that, there were two students that really stood out among their peers, both are juniors and come from the tenor section, Luke Rockwood and Tara Snow. These two students now have a chance to audition for All-State and compete in state competitions.
These students will rehearse at Evangel University before the concert that will be held at Evangel and will be open to everyone on November 4 at 4 PM.
