Dexter, Missouri - On Wednesday, July 20, 2016 students from Dexter High School, T.S. Hill Middle School, and Central Elementary traveled to Jefferson City, Missouri to sing with other students selected from all over the state for Honors Choir.  Students submitted recordings to the Missouri Choral Directors Association chair.

The students rehearsed the entire day and prepared for a concert that evening for parents and guests.

"There was a record number of students from Dexter that were selected this year for the 7th and 8th grade Honors Choir and the 4th - 6th grade Honors Choir," commented Jamie Sepulvado, Dexter Public Schools Choral Director.  "We had 9 students from 4th, 5th, and 6th grade selected and 8 students from 7th and 8th grade selected."

"Out of hundreds of auditions across the state submitted these students were recognized as some of the very best," continued Sepulvado.  "I am extremely proud of the musicians and young leaders I have in these grades.  Their behavior and performances were top notch!"

In the 7/8 grade choir the following students were selected Justin Viers, Bryston Pemberton, Cole Barker, Keiton Buck, Dalton Granger, Jeb Hubbard, Sydney Patrick, and Nate Bryant.
