Seven students from
the Blythewood High School Choir were among the top 425 students selected by
audition for the 2016 South Carolina All-State Choir out of nearly 2,000
students who auditioned. The audition
was held at Winthrop University March 3-5 in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
"There
was absolutely nothing like witnessing the tears of joy from these
students who I hold so near and dear to my heart, especially from the students
who made it for the first time,” BHS Choir Director Kristin Claiborne said. “Moments
like that are why I do what I do.”
This marks the
second year BHS had had students selected, and the first time in school
history that female students were selected.
