The Chamber and Concert Choirs each brought home an Adjudicator’s Award for their scores averaging a 95 or higher.
The Chamber Choir also received the Outstanding Choral Award for having the highest score in the entire festival.
“The choirs performed exceptionally well,” Kinworthy said.
Corey Dunlap, freshman, attended the choir trip and had a great time. “It was fun; I had a good time. It was great to represent Webster and bring home some trophies.” Dunlap performed in the concert choir.
According to Kinworthy, the choir is considering competing next year in New York.
