Chorale Contest

The Ponca City Chorale earned a superior rating on stage and an excellent rating in sight-reading today. They performed Wednesday morning at the OSSAA State Vocal Contest held at the OU Catlett Music Center on OU's campus in Norman. This group was made up of 9th through 12th grade students from the Ponca City Chorale program. The Chorale performed as a 6A group.

The group performed Bogoróditse Djévo (Mother of God and Virgin) by Arvo Pärt and Alway Something Sings words by

Ralph Waldo Emerson and music by Dan Forrest, accompanied by Connie VanAusdall.

Director Chad Keilman would like to thank all of the students for their hard work. “I’m very proud of the hard work that Chorale put in for contest this year. The improvement from the past few years is evident in all aspects!" he said.

A special thank you also goes to Katie Nichols for her help in preparing the group for contest today. Another special thank you to Molly Carter for driving the bus today.
