Choral concert moves audience members

     The melodious voices of the AHS choir filled the chapel at the Word of Life Academy during the annual fall concert on Tuesday, Oct. 30.
   

    So great was the performance that the audience could only sit and admire the incredible talent present in the choir members.  The program began with solos from the top students. Senior soprano Amy Fleming, senior tenor Paul Mathis, freshman soprano Anne Hruskoci, junior mezzo-soprano Hanna Navarrete, senior baritone Eric Jurenas, sophomore soprano Pamela Eggerton, junior soprano Whitney Akridge. Senior tenor Derick Elmore performed pieces some famous and extremely difficult.
   

    Following the professionally performed solos, the over 120 members of the AHS chorus assembled on stage to continue the show. Chorus director Carleen Dixon led the students in a seven movement Requiem. This college level piece was performed with great expertise. “Our intonation and our voices blended extremely well. Overall I felt that we had an amazing performance,” said sophomore Jenny Miller.
   

    Indeed the AHS chorus had a stunning and professional performance. “The chorus was always looking at the director which is a sign of a good chorus,” said senior Nicole Randolph.
   

    Randolph was among many in the audience who felt the fortitude of their performance and the strength in the singers’ voices. “They went above and beyond,” said Randolph.
