On October 18 and 19, high school students from across the state of Virginia gathered in
Blacksburg for Virginia Tech Honor choir. Students were invited to participate by the
recommendation of their high school choir directors.
Rehearsals began on Friday afternoon and the event culminated in a concert at the world-class
Moss Arts Center on Saturday afternoon in conjunction with the choirs of Virginia Tech.
While there, students rehearsed with the VT choral faculty, toured the campus and learned about
the admission process, and also enjoyed a social with all Honor Choir participants.
Congratulations to our William Byrd Singers for the body of work necessary for them to have
received this nomination to participate and for representing the WB community at this event.
Students participating included: Alyssa Adams, Lily Duffy, Brooke Hershel, Megan Higgins,
Owen Humphreys, Christian Parker, Brody Parrish, William Thompson, and Connor Wheeler.
