School District of Washington Elementary Students Selected for Missouri All-State Children's Choir

Four School District of Washington elementary students have been selected for the Missouri All-State Children's Choir, while a fifth student received honorable mention recognition.

The students selected for the All-State Children's Choir:

Paislee Dowd – Marthasville Elementary, fifth grade

Scarlett Lorenz – Augusta Elementary, fourth grade

Emily Maune – South Point Elementary, fifth grade

Grace Agren – South Point Elementary, fourth grade

Isabelle Osborn, a fourth-grade student at Marthasville Elementary, received honorable mention recognition.

“This is a huge deal and such an honor to be selected for such a prestigious event as this year there were a record number of auditions,” said Augusta Elementary and Marthasville Elementary Music Teacher Jon Logan. “We are so proud of our singing Blue Jays.”

Students earned their selections through a competitive audition process that required submitting audio recordings. Each audition was evaluated by three screeners for each voice part, with students identified only by audition numbers to ensure a blind evaluation process.

The selected students will travel to Osage Beach on January 26 to perform as members of the seventh annual Missouri All-State Children's Choir during the 89th Annual Missouri Music Educators Association In-Service Workshop/Conference.

During the event, students will have the opportunity to rehearse and perform under the direction of renowned music educator and conductor Sandy Knudson.
