2018-19 PMEA Festivals
PMEA Honors Choir Festival
Honors Choir is a festival held in the fall each year, divided into a men's and a women's choir. They have separate guest conductors and share a concert, combining for 2 pieces at the end directed by each conductor. This year's festival will take place on October 18-19, 2019 at Waynesburg Central High School. Singers in grades 9-12 are eligible to participate. Those interested should get an application from Mr. Cloonan at the beginning of the school year and return it ASAP so that forms can be submitted early.
