Three McCulloch Junior High School singers have been selected to perform in prestigious all-state honor ensembles at the Indiana Music Educators Association’s upcoming annual conference.

Eighth-graders Hannah Huff, Adin Turner, and Macey Wayman were selected to participate in the IMEA All State Middle School Honor Choir. This is the second year in a row for this honor for Hannah and Macey.
This honor ensemble is a great opportunity and gives students a chance to learn and grow as musicians. To be selected for this honor, students are nominated by their choir director, and nominations are then evaluated based on several criteria to select members of these talented groups from across the state. Selected musicians have been notified and were tasked with practicing the musical selections in preparation for the upcoming performances.
On Thursday, Jan. 11, honor ensemble members from around the state will gather to rehearse together for the first time, with a guest clinician. Then, on Jan. 12, they will perform together in Fort Wayne during the IMEA’s annual conference.
Marion’s outstanding representation during this music-filled weekend is a testament to the hard work and dedication our students display every day in the classroom, and to the excellence, skill, and professionalism that our music educators bring to their work all year round.
We are proud of all of these Marion Giants!
