Above: The Lexington Catholic Choir belt it out at the entrance to Universal Studios in sunny Florida!The Lexington Catholic HS Choirs kept the music coming all spring long:
A big bunch of students participated in KMEA district solo and ense
mble events, with great results. Special congrats to these students who received the Distinguished I rating: Cheyenne Davis, Katie Hamlin, Isabel Pena, Austin Ryan, Anna Beth Schneider, Caroline Simpson, and Kelsey VonderHaar. At the District Choir Festival, all three of LCHS- Chorale, Advanced Women's, & Chamber Choir received an overall rating of I (distinguished). This is the highest rating a choir can receive. This is the first time that all of the ensembles have earned this rating, so kudos to all choir members for their hard work to make it happen.

Then on March 4, Lex Cath hosted the First Annual "Voices in Harmony" concert featuring sixteen different high school and college a cappella groups (no instruments, only voices!) from all over, including UK's Accousticats and 11th Hour from Kettering OH, fresh from their appearance on the TV show "Sing Off." The final concert was sold out, and the audience was completely wowed by the amazing talent. LCHS had a couple of awards winners in the competition: MidKnight M'Ladyes received an award for original high school arrangement and member Margaret Leer won an award for best high school vocal percussion.
Obviously, after all this achievement, it's time to go to - Orlando! What could be more fun than a full bus singing its way through the n
ight and jumping up to sing all day for a few more days in the Florida sun? Turns out, nothing, as the LCHS choirs worked their magic again. Six LC choirs participated in the Orlandofest competition, and all of the choirs performed at the entrance to Universal Studios. In the competition, three choirs receive excellent ratings (the highest you can receive)- Advanced Women's Choir, MidKnight M'Ladyes, and Chamber Choir. In the separate divisions, Chorale and Advanced Women's Choir placed 2nd, while Chamber Choir and MidKnight M'Ladyes earned first place!

Congrats again to all the LC Choirs on their many epic performances!
And then it was back to Lexington for the annual Masterworks concert on April 14 at the Cathedral of Christ the King The LCHS Chorale was joined by a professional orchestra for an outstanding event built on the them of Rene Clausen's "A New Creation."
