Hitting the high notes

Members of the Plymouth Canton Educational Park Choir recently participated in the Music in the Parks Festival at Cedar Point and took home eight first place awards as well as three individual awards. The individual awards were presented to the Plymouth-Canton district soloist, student conductor and best conductor. The choirs competed against other high school choirs from across the country.  Each of the Plymouth Canton choirs swept their category performing two selections for two judges and received the highest scores and rankings. Lauren Hummer received a medal for Best Student Conductor, Malek Benedict-Blue received a medal for Best Student Soloist and the Plymouth Canton Madrigal Singers achieved Best Overall Choir with the highest point total of 198.5/200 of any choir in the two day competition. All Plymouth Canton Educational Park Choirs are directed by teacher Jennifer Neumann.
