OkMEA All-State Choir = A best-of-the-best choir consisting of students from across the state of Oklahoma. The auditions begin in October where 1,823 music students vied to pass 1st round to advance. The students compete, as a one-person team, based on talent only, and are up against schools size A-6A. The music is college level, 8 part pieces that consist of different genres and in different languages. Kayleigh Patterson not only passed 1st round auditions at ECU, but continued to pass 2nd round auditions at UCO and in turn gained a prestigious spot as a member of the 2023 OkMEA All-State Mixed Choir, the highest level choir achievable in Choral Music in the state of Oklahoma. Only 208 students survived both auditions to earn membership. Kayleigh represented Jones High School at the OkMEA State Music Convention in Tulsa over a grueling four day event, Jan. 18-21, 2023. She is now using her competitive skills to audition for a college scholarship to USAO where she has set her sights on receiving a Music Education degree and becoming the 3rd JHS student to enter the teaching ranks, as a music teacher, and to help other students hone their love for music (joining Allison Johnson (Oliver) and Joel Lane.) Please acknowledge and appreciate all of the hard work and sacrifice that Kayleigh and her parents (Trish Patterson and dad) put forth to achieve this honor on her own talent and merit. CONGRATULATIONS KAYLEIGH! Best of luck to you as you move forward and as always, keep making beautiful music! #greatdaytobealonghorn
