More About the "Rhythm in Red" Victory

I tracked down some more information on this story about Cabell Midland High School's big win this weekend.

The Rhythm in Red Show Choir won the "Grand Championship" at the West Virginia Music Educators Association State Show Choir Competition March 13 in Charleston.

In addition to the overall championship, Rhythm in Red captured the championship in Class "A" (large schools), and was the only choir to be awarded a "superior" rating by the judges. Rhythm in Red also swept the group categories, capturing additional awards for "Best Choral Sound," "Best Choreography," "Best Show Concept" and "Best Instrumental Ensemble."

Freshman Christa Navy was also named "Best Overall Female Soloist" for the competition.

Wes Urian was named Rhythm in Red's "Best Performer."

Poca was awarded "First Runner-Up," followed by Martinsburg, Hurricane and Nitro.

I also wanted to pass along this comment from an observer: "It's a huge accomplishment, and for CMHS to break into the stranglehold that Hurricane and Poca has had on the championship is amazing."

Congrats again to Rhythm in Red!
