On September 16, 2023, the Marshfield High School Choir went to Kickapoo High School in Springfield to compete against other schools of several districts to see who could rise up to the challenge of being in the top 200 choir students.

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.
