Congratulations are in order for the MacArthur Ninth Grade School and MacArthur High School choir students. Many students earned a Division 1 rating recently at District 18-6A UIL Solo-Ensemble Contest at Atascocita High School.

Approximately 2,100 District 18-6A students competed in the festival.

More than 100 MacArthur students took part in the contest. The students earned 62 Division 1 ratings for their solos and ensembles. The male quartet also brought home a Division 1 rating. A Division 1 rating is considered a “Superior” rating. The Generals also earned 24 Division 2 ratings for solos and ensembles.

The MacArthur High School choir is under the direction of Micah Schirado. And Danielle Stadick directs the MacArthur Ninth Grade School choir.

Schirado and Stadick are both proud of the students’ performances.

“The students did an outstanding job in all their performances,” said Schirado. “Their dedication and hard work definitely paid off.”

“I couldn’t be prouder of the students,” Stadick said.

Congratulations to the students!
