Dexter, Missouri -  Each year students all over Missouri compete by sending in a recording of their voices.  Mrs. Jamie Sepulvado was asked to send in recordings of the student's voices on an Art Song of their choice and other material.  Only 200 students from the entire state of Missouri are chosen and this year 10 seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students were selected from TS Hill Middle School and the Dexter High School.

This is only the second year that students from Dexter have auditioned and last year seven students were accepted into one of Missouri's top choirs.

The Missouri Choral Directors Association Honors Choir is made of exceptional choir students and they will travel to Jefferson City, Missouri on July 23rd to rehearse for their July 24th performance.

This is a great opportunity for students and a true honor to be selected.  "It is my hope that this event will continue to grow and each year more and more students will audition," stated Mrs. Jamie Sepulvado, Choral Director for Dexter Public Schools.  "I couldn't be more proud as a choir teacher to see this growth and guide these students down a successful path with their music."

Students selected from the 7th and 8th grade are Andrew Teel, Tres Hampton, Tanner Rickman, Caroline Powers, Sarah Miller, Angel Maze, and Shelby Smith.

Students selected from the 9th grade are Brooks Propst, Shelby Gathings, and Jon Rodgers.
