The Montgomery High School Varsity Chorale Women have been named a Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) Invited Choir, chosen to perform at the TMEA Convention on February 9th in San Antonio, Texas.
The achievement is part of the growing legacy of the Montgomery High School Choir Program. The Chorale Women are one of six high school choirs selected to perform at the TMEA Convention and the only 5A Women’s Choir invited. This is the fourth time this group has been selected to perform at the state level. With additional performances at the divisional and national conventions, this will mark the group’s eighth appearance at a Music Educators Association Event.
The group is directed by Mrs. Heather Orr. She is in her 23rd year leading the Choir Department at Montgomery High School.
“This is such an honor and we are so thrilled to perform at the Texas Music Educators Convention,” Orr said. “This is definitely a life changing experience and the girls have worked so hard to inspire and bring joy to our audience. We can’t wait! I am so proud of them!”
Held annually, TMEA is a four-day event at San Antonio’s Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center and is the largest music education convention in the nation. With over 29,000 attendees, the event provides opportunities for current and future music educators at every level and discipline and features performances by ensembles at every grade level.”
“Being invited to perform at the TMEA Convention is one of the highest honors bestowed on a public school band, choir or orchestra in the state of Texas,” MISD Superintendent Mark Ruffin said. “We are so excited to share this talented MHS choir with music educators and students from across the state.”
The Chorale Women will preview their TMEA performance at a concert in the Montgomery High School auditorium Monday, February 5 at 7:00 p.m.
