Select Women named Grand Champion at Ole Miss Choral Festival

On Oct. 7, the CHHS Chorus traveled to Oxford to compete in the Ole Miss Choral Festival. This year, however, was one in which Select Women not only wowed the judges, but came back with the trophy to prove it. Not only did they win Best Treble Choir, but out of the 52 choirs that entered the competition, the Select Women came home with the first-place trophy and title of Grand Champion.

“We were a little timid at first, but right now, we’ve grown into a mature sounding choir,” said Katie McDaniel, Select Women President. “We sound like women.”

The two pieces chosen by director Catherine Feazell for this year’s competition were “Cantate Domino” by Hans Leo Hassler and “truth” by Andrea Ramsey, with Andrew Clifton accompanying on the djembe.
