HONOR CHOIR 2008

Tillamook High School hosted our District 3 Honor Choir this year. 17 - count 'em! - 17 schools participated. Amity, Astoria, Banks, Clatskanie, Dayton, Delphian, Gaston, Neah-Kah-Nie, Nestucca, Rainier, Seaside, Sheridan, St. Helens, Tillamook, Vernonia, Warrenton and Willamina. We started the weekend off with registration in the band foyer and moved along to our sectionals and mass rehearsals.

Dr. Long made it on Saturday and then we had a concert at 3:00. During the concert, Sean Richards sang a solo: Sebben, crudele and Nathan Casteel played a trombone solo. Bonnie Hastings was chosen to sing one of the solos in "He Never Failed Me Yet".

Shown below is a picture of as many Tillamook singers as I could gather together at one time. In the back: Sean, Jordan, Bob, Charlie, Daniel and Nasha. In the front: Melissa, Stephanie, Laura, Jacinda, Beau, Haley, Caitlin, Alexia and Bonnie. I think we're missing McKinley, Mathew, Nathan and Amy.

I had to include this picture of Melissa and Leah...2 new-found friends brought together through Honor Choir. Their smiles say it all...Honor Choir 2008 was a success!!
