Walking through the hallways of Washougal High School last week, students were greeted by a large, orange and black poster congratulating various choir and band members.
And there were several reasons to give kudos: On Monday, Feb. 20, several students performed with the Washington Music Educators All-State Honor Symphonic Choir and Wind Ensemble.
In addition, many of the same vocalists and instrumentalists performed well at the Regional Solo and Ensemble Contest the following weekend.
“This is great,” said Jen Mahorney, choir director. “We’ve been preparing since right after Christmas. There are some pretty stellar schools in the region, It’s fortunate that we have this level of competition.”
