Notre Dame junior Emily Macks earned a level 1 rating at last weekend’s Michigan School Vocal Music Association State and Solo Ensemble Festival.
Participants at the states sing two songs, one of which must be in a foreign language and the other in English, and ultimately receive comments and a rating from specially selected and qualified judges.
Macks, a member of the school’s Women’s Choir, qualified for the state competition due to her performance at a regional festival where she also earned a level 1 rating.
"Emily is a joy to have in choir and she is a great vocalist,” said Ellie Frazier, a choir instructor at NDPMA. “She is a great student leader who demonstrates wonderful work ethic and stage presence when she performs. Mr. Fazzini and I are very proud of her accomplishments at festival this year."
