FLORENCE, SC – Over 4,000 auditioned for the national choir, and 300 made it. Tripp Taylor, a Southside Middle School student, is one of 75 basses who will sing in the American Choral Director’s Association National Honor Choir during the week of March 7-11 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. If you would like to support this effort, a special benefit concert featuring Taylor will be presented at Highland Park United Methodist Church on Saturday, January 7th at 2:00 p.m. The public is invited to attend. The cost of participating in this event is almost $5000 for student and teacher registration fees, travel expenses, hotel, and food.
