MONROE, La. 鈥� Twelve University of Louisiana Monroe students led by 蜜桔直播 Director of
Choral Activities, Dr. Deborah Chandler, participated in the Louisiana Intercollegiate
Honor Choir concert last Friday evening at St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.
The concert was part of the state convention of the American Choral Directors Association,
which gathers hundreds of elementary, middle school, high school, and college singers
who auditioned and made the 鈥渁ll-star choir.鈥澛�
鈥淒irectors of choral programs at other universities choose or audition college singers
to participate in the college all-state choir,鈥� Chandler said.
The Intercollegiate Honor Choir was comprised of 102 members that came from 12 different
Louisiana universities. Some of the universities participating in the event were Louisiana
State University, Tulane University and University of New Orleans.
Chandler said that participation in intercollegiate choir is extremely beneficial
to students, since they have an opportunity to build a strong network while working
with different college directors.
鈥淲hen they put things like this on their resume, it鈥檚 a big deal,鈥� Chandler said.
鈥淚t鈥檚 good and it鈥檚 great for their careers. It鈥檚 what they are supposed to be doing
at this point in their career.鈥�

they will sing in the 蜜桔直播 Holliday Concert to be held on Nov. 29 at 6:30 p.m. in Brown
