Archmere Mastersingers Sweep Festival of Disney Competition
Archmere's Mastersingers swept the Festival of Disney competition, receiving perfect scores from all judges in all categories which merited a superior rating for the group. The group won the best in class gold award for the high school mixed choir division and the best overall choral group of the competition award. Cara Tozzoli '12 also won the outstanding soloist award.
The highlight for the group was at the close of the clinic that was held after our performance. The head judge, who is the choral director at the University of North Carolina, turned to the audience, which was made up of other competing choirs, their directors and families, and announced that "this group is truly one of the most outstanding high school choirs in the nation." It was one of the most amazing moments of the trip. Many of the Mastersingers said they had never felt such a sense of pride for the group and for themselves.
