COVINGTON, Ga. - Newton County School System was well represented at the recent Georgia Music Educators Association’s District IV Honor Chorus as 45 students were selected to participate in the prestigious group.
According to Ms. Chantae Pittman, director of choral activities for Alcovy High School, their school chorus director selected the students for the GMEA District IV Honor Chorus.
“These were some of the finest vocal musicians who represented each school,” Pittman said. “These students prepared their music prior to attending honor chorus for two days’ worth of rehearsals. The culminating performance took place at Stephenson High School.”
