Baylie had a great year in choir. It was one of the highlights of her senior year. After not making ACDA last year, she made it this year and was excited to go. Sadly, a bad storm came in and it was cancelled. Fortunately she made All State for the third year in a row, not a very common accomplishment.
Seven kids from Irmo High School were in the choir. That's a lot from one school. They were placed in three different choirs. Baylie ended up with the best of the directors, Michael Barrett. He chose such fun music and the performance was fantastic.

Baylie loves her choir director, Mr. Frank Turner. He has inspired her to be a choir director as well.

At the annual Concert Assessment Performance, they received a Superior With Distinction, the highest honor possible.
The Seniors - they will be much missed next year.
One of the highlights of the year was when they sang David's arrangement of Lift Every Voice and Sing. You can see the performance
HERE.
The final performance of the year was a little emotional.
They always recognize the seniors and other accomplishments.
Baylie was a co-recipient of the Chorus Student of the Year.
The seniors surprised Mr. Turner by not only giving him a gift, but also because they had each written him a personal tribute. It was very moving.

Tania Turner was Baylie's 5th grade music teacher and chose her to play Mrs. Clause in the school Christmas program. It's Baylie's favorite memory of elementary school. The Turners have been such great role models in her life.
Christopher Moore is the middle school choir teacher. Baylie helped him this year as part of her teacher cadet class. She loved it and it solidified her desire to teach choir.
