Two members of the Hays High School Choir – junior Emma Cole and sophomore Taylor Cooper – have come back with honors from the annual Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) All-State Choir auditions. Held at Reagan High School, the annual auditions completed a process that began with roughly 30,000 students across Texas and eight HHS Choir members qualifying for the final auditions. Emma Cole drew the top honors for the Rebs, claiming 2nd Chair in the All-State mixed Choir, while Taylor Cooper placed as First Alternate for the All-State Treble Choir. It was Emma’s third consecutive year to make State. Taylor was an All-Stater as a freshman last year. HHS Choir Director Charles Flores notes, “These students are to be congratulated for their efforts and success. placement in the TMEA All-State Choir is one of the highest honors a music student can achieve. Thank you for supporting music and fine arts at Hays High School.”
