Students Excel at Music Festival

30 plus students represented The Carolina Academy at the SCISA MUSIC FESTIVAL which was held March 10th at the USC School of Music. For Vocal Performance, Noel Dotson and Alexis Kelley both received Gold Medals. For piano performance, Elizabeth Askins, Mary Palmer Askins, and Rebecca Weaver all received Gold Medals for individual performances.

Our high school chorus(25 students) entered the competition for the first time and brought home the GOLD! Under the direction of senior Miss Alexis Kelley and accompanied by freshman, Miss Rebecca Weaver, the chorus produced a performance that far surpassed our expectations. Thank you to all the participants, parents, and accompanists who assisted in the performances.
