By Ava Grippo – Entertainment Editor

Eight members of the Jonathan Law Choir recently performed at the CMEA Southern Region Honors Festival at Naugatuck High School. Advocate Entertainment Editor Ava Grippo interviewed senior Reilly Hungerford about the experience.

Ava Grippo: What was the setup for Regionals? 

Reilly Hungerford: We came together with other people who also auditioned and got into Regionals.

AG: How were the members of the different Choirs organized for the performance?

RH: The Choir section was split into two Choirs, the Treble (Alto and Soprano only) Choir and the Mixed (all voices part) Choir. We prepared music and practiced together. 

AG: What was the goal of Regionals?

RH: The goal of the Regionals is to come together and put on a concert with people you don’t know and a director you also don’t know to familiarize yourself with Choir experiences outside your own.  

AG: How would you describe the experience? 

RH: It went really well. I felt like our Choir was very prepared to go. 

AG: What was your favorite part of Regionals? 

RH: My favorite part was making new friends. I love meeting new people who are as dedicated to music as I am.
