Taft Union High School senior Xavier Chavez will sing bass in the mixed choir of the Central California honor choir Saturday in Clovis. After two days of rehearsal, the choirs will perform at 3 p.m. in the Clovis North High School Performing Arts Center.
Chavez had to learn an Italian solo, sing some scales and triads, match pitch from memory, and sight-sing in order to qualify for the prestigious event, explained choir director Amanda Locke. Four Taft students auditioned for the regional state honor choir.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to sing with people who really know what they are doing,” Chavez said.
