Please congratulate Piper Bussart on being selected to the very prestigious Allstate KCDA Jazz Choir! This ensemble only accepts the top 14 singers across the state to perform live with a full jazz combo at the Summer Convention held on the KU campus this July.
The audition process included singing a blues scale, chromatic scale, prepared solo, and scat/improv over a 24-bar track. If you aren't musically inclined, let's just say that is TOUGH and requires a lot of skill!
In addition, the following students auditioned for and were accepted into the KCDA Summer Allstate Soprano-Alto and Tenor-Bass choirs. These ensembles have roughly a 50% acceptance rate, so a big congrats to them! This is the largest number of Rock Creek students ever selected in a given year.
