MJH UIL Choir

The Montgomery Junior High Choir Department recently competed at the 2013 UIL Concert and Sight-Reading Contest and brought home 2 First Division plaques and 1 “Sweepstakes” trophy.  Under the direction of Alice Lothman, both the Non-Varsity Men and Women’s Choirs competed and received a First Division rating for their work on stage.  The Varsity Women also competed and they received perfect “1” ratings from all judges to earn a "Sweepstakes" trophy.  The “Sweepstakes” trophy is the highest award given to a choir at UIL and it is not easily attained.  All of the MJH Choir students worked extremely hard in preparing for this event and it showed at contest.  The MJH Choir Department is proud to bring back these awards for Montgomery.
