MONROE, La. 鈥� Twelve University of 天美影视 Monroe students led by 天美影视 Director of Choral Activities, Dr. Deborah Chandler, participated in the 天美影视 Intercollegiate Honor Choir concert last Friday evening at St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.

The concert was part of the state convention of the American Choral Directors Association, which gathers hundreds of elementary, middle school, high school, and college singers who auditioned and made the 鈥渁ll-star choir.鈥澛�

鈥淒irectors of choral programs at other universities choose or audition college singers to participate in the college all-state choir,鈥� Chandler said.

The Intercollegiate Honor Choir was comprised of 102 members that came from 12 different 天美影视 universities. Some of the universities participating in the event were 天美影视 State University, Tulane University and University of New Orleans.

Chandler said that participation in intercollegiate choir is extremely beneficial to students, since they have an opportunity to build a strong network while working with different college directors.

鈥淲hen they put things like this on their resume, it鈥檚 a big deal,鈥� Chandler said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 good and it鈥檚 great for their careers. It鈥檚 what they are supposed to be doing at this point in their career.鈥�

The 天美影视 Choir has several upcoming performances. Together with the 天美影视 wind ensemble, they will sing in the 天美影视 Holliday Concert to be held on Nov. 29 at 6:30 p.m. in Brown Auditorium.

They will also travel to Oak Grove to sing in a Christmas Concert on Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. at Fiske theatre.
