Horn Lake High School Choral Department

Congratulations to our choir members on two wonderful performances at the Ole Miss Choral Festival this past Saturday.  With incredible choirs from Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, & Alabama, the competition was definitely tough.

The members of the intermediate choir, Belles Voix, finished with scores of 85, 89, & 90 which gave them a total score of 264 out of 300 and an overall rating of "Excellent".

The advanced women's choir, Jolie Chanson, received scores of 95, 97, & 98 totaling 290 points out of a possible 300 thus earning a rating of "Superior".  Jolie Chanson's high score placed them as the 1st place choir in the Women's Choir Division PLUS they received the highest scores of all of the choirs in every division throughout the entire day and were named the GRAND CHAMPIONS!

Congratulations to the University of Mississippi Choral Festival 2011 Grand Champions, the Horn Lake High School Elite Women's Ensemble, Jolie Chanson!
