The Juab Concert Choir performed amazingly well at Utah Music Education Association State Choral Festival on Thursday May 14, 2015.
Eighty-five students competed at Libby Gardener Hall at the University of Utah under the direction of Mrs. Tana Esplin accompanied by Mrs. Margaret Thomson. The Choir performed three songs, Dos Cantos Apamuy Shungo by Gerardo Guevara, The Ground by Ola Gjeilo, and Rock My Soul a traditional spiritual arranged by Brian Tate. A panel of UMEA judges awarded the choir straight 1's or Superior, the highest and best rating possible. The judges were pleased with the sound quality and focus from a 3A choir. They also commented on the musical quality and technical skills.
