Sing Around Columbus is an audition group of students from Columbus area schools. Students will learn the music independently, work with their school music teacher, and then perform with a mass choir at Columbus High School. Students were chosen based on four different areas: singing consistently on pitch, able to maintain a musical part, willing to memorize and spend time on music and exhibit self-discipline.
The clinician was Megan Nuss from Colorado. Megan is an energetic clinician for choral festivals, and has a true passion for working with young voices.
