Chippewa Valley High School made history this weekend! Alina Bucanovic, Julia Clark, Julia Johnson, and Evannah Stanley performed at State Solo and Ensemble as soloists and as a quartet. Every performance earned a PERFECT score! The SSAA Quartet was neck and neck in the running to be selected as the top small ensemble! For the first time in CVHS History, we have a student selected for the in person All-State Festival, and that student is Junior, Julia Johnson! That means she is one of the top 10 to 12 singers in Michigan! Additionally, we had a student selected as an alternate soloist for All-State, and that is Julia Clark! All 4 singers were in the top 6 singers on site! So Evannah and Alina were next in line! This is the highest honor any individual singer can receive in Michigan, and to have 4 in the top 6 spots is unheard of. Please be sure to congratulate Alina, Julia Clark, Julia Johnson, and Evannah when you see them!

Any after-school practices or activities taking place during the solar eclipse will be held indoors.
