Singers earn places in honor choir

Four members of Voices in the Laurel were selected to sing in the American Choral Directors Association Southern Division Children's Honor Choir.

Colby Cook, Ivey McClure and McLain Youngwood, of Haywood County, and Emily Wylupek, of Franklin, auditioned for the choir in September. They were part of a choir of 175 singers chosen from eleven states to sing under the baton of nationally recognized Robyn Lana, conductor of the Cincinnati Children's Choir.

"If you like to sing, you should try it, because it is fun and a great experience," McClure said.
