SEDALIA—State
Fair Community College vocal music students Zach
Craft, Butler, and Tanner
Wiley, Sedalia, will participate Nov. 15-16 in the Central Division
Festival of the National Association of Teachers of Singing at
Augustana College in Rock Island, Ill.
Collegiate
singers from Illinois, Missouri and Iowa will compete in categories
from college freshman through graduate student.
Performers
will present eight-minute programs of at least three selections
before a panel of voice teachers who will give written comment and
rankings. Top performers will move on to semi-final and final rounds.
The top three performers in each category will qualify for the
national competition to be held in the spring.
Craft
and Wiley are voice students of Ron Sayer, Music Arts program
coordinator and director of choirs at SFCC. Sayer will judge one of
the competition categories in which no SFCC students are competing.
