MCC students, Brooke Bjorgaard and Jorja Love participated in the annual UND Honor Festival on January 26th. Both were selected to sing in the women's choir under the direction of UND professor, Melanie Popejoy. Both singers had to do a live audition in front of UND faculty that included sight reading and doing a solo. Over 950 students auditioned to be a part of the festival, and less than half made were admitted. UND Honor Festival is a full weekend of intensive rehearsals, sectionals, and showcases, all leading to a final performance on Sunday. It is an excellent way to build skill, learn from new and incredible teachers, and experience music at an extremely high level. Congratulations Brook and Jorja!
