Six Ashworth Middle School Chorus students, the most in Ashworth's history, have passed the first round of Georgia's All State Chorus auditions. These students were adjudicated in the following areas: solo art song, scales, and sight-singing. It is a rigorous audition process, and these students scored among the top 8-10% of other middle school chorus students. They will complete a music proficiency test over their choir's repertoire in January. The All State Chorus event will be held at the Classic Center in Athens in February. Congratulations to these singing Warriors!
